Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) and reporting obligations
Under federal regulations, CSAs include Campus Safety personnel, Dean of Students staff, residential life hall directors and resident advisors (RAs), athletic coaches, club advisors, and Title IX investigators. Pastoral and professional mental health counselors are exempt from mandatory reporting when acting in that confidential capacity.
CSAs who witness or learn of any Clery Act crime (including murder, sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, arson, or hate crimes) are legally obligated to report the details to Campus Safety immediately for statistical inclusion and Timely Warning evaluation.
Clery statistics reflect specific geographic boundaries: On-Campus property (including residence halls), Non-Campus property owned or controlled by recognized student organizations (such as Greek housing), and Public Property immediately adjacent to and accessible from campus (streets, sidewalks, and public parks).
