Campus Security Authorities (CSA)

The Clery Act requires all institutions to collect crime reports from a variety of individuals and organizations considered to be Campus Security Authorities.

Who is a Campus Security Authority? 

  • 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 official is defined by the Clery Act as any person who has the authority and the duty to take action or respond to particular issues on behalf of the institution.

  • A campus police department or a campus security department of an institution.

  • Any individual or individuals who have responsibility for campus security but who do not constitute a campus police department or a campus police department or a campus security department (e.g., an individual who is responsible for monitoring the entrance into institutional property).

  • Any individual or organization specified in an institution's statement of campus security policy as an individual or organization to which students and employees should report criminal offenses.

The requirements of the Clery Act require significant coordination and organization among campus officials and administrators.  Our goal is to provide a safe and secure environment for our campus community.  If you have any questions regarding your reporting obligations or need help please contact University Compliance, cleryact@arizona.edu.
