Student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act
In compliance with the Student Right-to-Know and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the Act), UT Tyler collects specified information on campus crime statistics, campus security policies, and institutional completion or graduation rates.
Pursuant to the federal law, alleged victims of violent crime are entitled to know the results of campus student disciplinary proceedings concerning the alleged perpetrators.
