Since its inception in 1990, the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, the “Clery Act,” has held institutions of higher education accountable by requiring campuses to accurately document incidents on campuses and provide this information to students, employees, and prospective students. This federal regulation allows individuals to have a realistic understanding of criminal activity on college and university campuses and provides educational information to campus communities. Millions of children in the United States today are the beneficiaries of child support agreements. Many of those agreements are silent about whether the payor’s obligation would continue if the payor died with the agreement still partially unperformed.

Open-water swimming, though an Olympic event since 2008, has never been safe. In light of the Olympics returning to the United States for the first time in over three decades, USA Swimming has the opportunity to set a new global precedent: one where the safety of athletes takes priority over elite competition.
