Every school receiving federal funding must comply with the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Statistics Act which mandates reporting of campus crime statistics every year. Ask campus police for a copy of the most recent report or search for it on your school's Web site. Write a 400-word story with a hard news, summary lead that highlights the findings.
