Our Mission

The mission of The COREY Safety Act is to make campuses safer. The proposed bill will:

  • Expand The Clery Act reporting to include unintentional injuries on college and university campuses that result in serious physical injury* or death.
  • Create new metrics and data empowering students and their families, institutions, and the injury prevention community to improve campus safety from multiple perspectives.
  • Require information about local level 1 and level 2 trauma centers be posted on campus and institutional websites so that campus community members can quickly locate them during medical emergencies
The College Operational Reporting of Emergencies Involving Teens and Young Adults Safety Act of 2022, or COREY Safety Act, is named after Corey Hausman, a college freshman who died on Sept. 12, 2018, after falling off his skateboard on campus, just 15 days after the start of the semester.
The Clery Act, passed in 1990, requires colleges and universities to report campus crime data, support victims of violence, and publicly outline the policies and procedures they have put into place to improve campus safety.
*Serious physical injury would be defined as “physical injury that creates a substantial risk of death, or that causes serious disfigurement, serious impairment of health or serious loss, or impairment of the function of any bodily organ.
