In other news, QCC Campus Police recently received top marks when the department was asked for access to their daily crime logs under the Clery Act. In an article published in the Telegram & Gazette, 17 collegiate institutions in the area were asked for access to their campus crime logs, which falls under both the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, and Massachusetts law. QCC was one of the seven colleges that were in compliance the first time a reporter asked for access to the logs. The logs were given to the reporter, were up-to-date and the reporter was not asked for a name or identification, as per the Clery Act.
