A nonprofit group has filed a formal complaint against Eastern Michigan University asking whether the college violated federal law by not immediately informing students and faculty of the slaying of a student on campus. Security On Campus Inc., a national campus-crime watch-dog group, on Tuesday filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education alleging the university may have violated the federal Jeanne Clery Act by not informing students and faculty that the death of a 22-year-old student in December was being investigated as a homicide. The Clery Act, passed by Congress in 1990, requires public universities to notify students and faculty in a "timely manner" of any "threat to students and employees. The university may be fined up to $27,500 per violation.
