Jeanne Clery Disclosure Act
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (20 USC § 1092(f)) stipulates that colleges and universities that participate in U.S. federal student financial aid programs are required to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses.
Cleveland Institute of Art's Annual Security Report includes statistics for three calendar years regarding reported crimes that occurred on campus; in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by CIA; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus.
Anti-Hazing
Collin's Law (Ohio Senate Bill 126) is in honor of Collin Wiant, an 18-year-old man who died in a hazing incident in 2018. The bill requires each public and private institution of higher education in Ohio to adopt an anti-hazing policy.
Among the changes, colleges are required to document efforts taken on campus to reduce hazing as well as reporting on incidents on campus.
Incidents of hazing should be reported to Matthew Smith, PhD, Assistant Dean, Student Affairs by email or phone at 216.421.7495.
January 1, 2024 Report
Programming
In the Fall semester of 2023, CIA’s Office of Student Life led a hazing prevention workshop for all student organizations on campus, communicated hazing prevention information to the community via posters throughout campus and emails to the entire CIA community. These methods assisted in defining hazing while explaining the process for reporting incidents. Lastly, we did an online training for student organization advisors which included a quiz at the end of the seminar.

January 1–July 31, 2024: There were no incidents of hazing reported to the Assistant Dean of Students office.
August 1, 2023–January 1, 2024: There were no incidents of hazing reported to the Assistant Dean of Students office.

University Health Services (UHS) Class Excuse Policy
When a student must be absent from a class, a studio, or an examination for medical reasons, it is the student’s responsibility to discuss this directly with the faculty member involved. SHS does not issue class excuses per se. Under certain circumstances, SHS will give students written verification of the date of their visit to the SHS. In the case of students who are hospitalized or who have a prolonged illness such as mononucleosis, the student should give permission for CIA’s Academic Services office to communicate with Health Services and the hospital regarding the illness. Without this permission, no communication can occur.
