What is a Campus Safety Authority (CSA)?
A Campus Safety Authority (CSA) are university officials who have "significant responsibility
for student and campus activities, including, but not limited to, student housing,
student discipline officials, advisors to student organizations, even ticket takers.
CSA's are usually found in departments responsible for, but not limited to, student
and campus activities, safety/security, discipline, housing, athletics, human resources
or judicial proceedings. This designation also includes any individual who has been
specified by聽不良研究所 to receive and report offenses.
CSA's are a vital part of data collection for the annual safety and security report.
CSA's contribute to the 不良研究所 Police Department's philosophy of "See It, Hear It, Report It."
Professional mental health and religious counselors are exempt from mandatory reporting
requirements.
CSA's are responsible for reporting the number of crimes and incidents as described
in the Clery Act that occur in their department to the 不良研究所 Police Department. These
numbers are included in the federally mandated Clery Report, which is posted annually
in October.
The Clery Act requires colleges and universities to create and make available an Annual Safety and Fire Report. In addition to input from law enforcement, certain staff positions are designated
as (CSA's) for the purpose of providing information for this report.
