Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) are individuals who by virtue of their University responsibilities, and under the Clery Act, are designated to receive and report criminal incidents to University Police so that they may be included and published in the University’s Annual Security and Fire Safety Report (“Clery Report”). All Employees who are designated as CSAs for the purposes of the Clery Act must immediately provide University Police with non-identifying statistical information regarding all reported incidents of sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking occurring within Clery geography. For a list of CSAs, please contact the Office of Equal Opportunity and Outreach (EOO).
Under the Clery Act, a Campus Security Authority (CSA) is an individual or organization designated to receive reports of certain crimes for federal Clery Act reporting purposes. CSAs generally fall into four categories:
- Campus police or security departments — Members of an institution’s campus police or campus security department.
- Individuals responsible for campus security — Employees or others who are responsible for monitoring access to campus property or otherwise performing campus security functions, even if they are not police or security officers.
- Designated reporting officials or organizations — Individuals or organizations identified in the institution’s campus security policies as persons to whom students and employees should report criminal offenses.
- Officials with significant responsibility for student or campus activities — Officials with substantial responsibility for student housing, student discipline, campus judicial proceedings, student activities, or similar campus programs. This includes athletic coaches and advisors of student clubs and organizations.
