Course	Delivery	Additional Information	Recurrence
Campus Security Authority (CSA)	E-Training	Protect IU - Police & Public Safety	Annual
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the "Clery Act"), requires college and universities to compile and publish statistics on certain criminal offenses that occur on or adjacent to university properties. At Indiana University, position information is used to assist in the identification of positions that may qualify the incumbent to be a Campus Security Authority (CSA). However, position details cannot identify every position that has CSA responsibilities, therefore it is also up to individuals to review their position responsibilities and comply with the training and reporting requirements if their position fits into the definition of a Campus Security Authority. A Campus Security Authority is a term used in the Clery Act to describe someone who has significant responsibility for student and campus activities. The regulations that govern the Clery Act (34 CFR 668.46) define a CSA as: 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 security department (such as an individual who is responsible for monitoring 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, 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.
