U.S. Dep’t of Education DCL re: Voluntary Disclosure of Hate Crime Sub-Categories (July 29, 2024)
U.S. Department of Education, Office of Federal Student Aid Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) re: Voluntary Disclosure of Hate Crime Sub-Categories. Noting “heightened concerns about acts of hate on campuses,” “the Department reminds institutions that they may voluntarily provide information about hate crimes to members of their campus communities, beyond what the Clery Act requires to be reported.” The Department noted that “the Federal Bureau of Investigations’ (FBI’s) Hate Crime Statistics Data Collection identifies sub-categories that institutions can use if they choose to voluntarily provide such additional information separate and apart from their obligations under the Clery Act” and provided the list in the DCL.
