Campus Security Authorities: Responsibility and Training

In 1990, the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) was passed as a federal statute. The Clery Act requires institutions to provide the campus community with timely and accurate information about campus crimes and safety so they can make informed and reasoned decisions about their personal safety. In addition to the annual Security and Fire Safety Report requirement, certain personnel are designated as Campus Security Authorities (CSA) and must receive training on their responsibilities as mandated reporters.

Under the Clery Act, positions having significant responsibility for student and campus activities, and those who manage or otherwise oversee student and campus activities are designated as a Campus Security Authority (CSA) under the Clery Act. Duties may include but are not limited to: student and family housing; a student center; student extra-curricular activities; athletic coaches and trainers; faculty advisors to student groups; staff responsible for student discipline; and campus judicial staff.The CSA is a federally mandated crime reporter who must report all Clery Act crimes to Campus Public Safety. If a CSA observes or becomes aware of a crime, or a person reveals that s/he learned of, was the victim of, perpetrator of, or witness to a crime, CSAs are required to report the information to Campus Public Safety. For questions regarding reporting obligations contact Campus Public Safety at 541-552-7095 or contact the Clery Coordinator at clerycoordinator@sou.edu for additional information.
