Now that we have reviewed the Universities requirements under the Clery Act, we will review individual responsibilities that some of our employees and volunteers must abide by. Campus Security Authority is a Clery specific term, that encompasses four groups of individuals and organizations associated with an institution, that are required by law to report criminal offenses, hate crimes, and arrests and referrals for disciplinary action that occur in a Clery geographic location. The Clery Act identifies these four specific groups as University Police, non-police people or offices responsible for campus security, officials with significant responsibility for student and campus activities, and any individual or organization specified in an institution statement of campus security policy as an individual or organization to which students and employees should report criminal offenses.
