  2. Individuals responsible for campus security, including student and professional employees, as well as any contracted security personnel

Some specific units and employees on campus are NOT designated as a CSA by the nature of their role and function of responsibilities. Some of those units include: Office of Victim Assistance, Counseling and Psychiatric Services, Faculty & Staff Assistance Program, Etc.

What They Do

All CSAs are required to report Clery Act crimes that are reported to them. These individuals are understood to be trusted contacts at the University and have an obligation to report these crimes, so the University can offer support, resources, issue timely warnings and emergency notifications, as well as publish an Annual Security & Fire Safety Report to our campus community and interested public.
