Clery Center Summary of Jeanne Clery Act
For more information on the Clery Act and educational resources, check out the information provided by our partners at the Clery Center.
Who Are CSAs?
The law defines “Campus Security Authority” as: “An official of an institution who has significant responsibility for student and campus activities, including, but not limited to, student housing, student discipline, and campus judicial proceedings.” An example would be a dean of students who oversees student housing, a student center, or student extra-curricular activities and has significant responsibility for student and campus activities. Similarly, a director of athletics, team coach, and faculty advisor to a student group also have significant responsibility for student and campus activities. A single teaching faculty member is unlikely to have significant responsibility for student and campus activities, except when serving as an advisor to a student group. Clerical staff, as well, are unlikely to have significant responsibility for student and campus activities.
If you have been identified as a Campus Security Authority please read this Campus Security Authority Notification Memo 2020 which outlines your obligations. In addition to explaining your role as a CSA, this notification memo outlines a training and assessment that you are required to complete.

No, report any crime you are made aware of, whether it is committed against a student, staff, faculty member, community member, or the University itself. Crimes can and do affect anyone in our community, so to help keep the community safe please report all cries that are reported to you.
