Campus Security Authorities (CSAs)

To ensure that students know about any dangers on their campuses, the Clery Act requires institutions to gather and publish data from three kinds of Campus Security Authorities

• People or offices responsible for campus security
• People or offices to which campus policy directs that crimes be reported
• Those with significant responsibility for student and campus activities
