Campus Security Authorities (CSA)

Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) are individuals on a college or university campus designated to report crime and safety concerns. They play a crucial role in ensuring student safety by relaying information about incidents to the campus police or administration. CSAs can include campus police, resident advisors, athletic coaches, and others in leadership roles. Their reporting helps the institution comply with federal laws, like the Clery Act, which requires transparency regarding campus safety and crime statistics. This ensures that students and staff are informed about potential hazards and promotes a safer campus environment.
