Report finds Eastern Michigan illegally withheld homicide information and lied to public

Eastern Michigan University could face stiff fines for violating the Clery Act for trying to cover up a homicide on campus, according to a report by the U.S. Department of Education. Following the murder of a student on campus, the university told students and parents no foul play was suspected. The department found seven violations of the Clery Act, each one potentially resulting in a $27,500 fine. See story by the Student Press Law Center.
