Campus Security Authorities (CSAs)

Who is a Campus Security Authority (CSA)?
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 as any person who has the authority and the duty to act or respond to issues on behalf of the institution.

Some positions at the College qualify individuals as a Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) under the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act).  As such, CSAs are required to report criminal or alleged criminal incidents that come to their attention for inclusion in our campus’ annual crime statistics.  The reporting of accurate and complete statistical information is a requirement under the Jeanne Clery Campus Crime Act.  If you have any questions, please contact Administrative Manager Rabiyyah Williams by e-mail at rwilliams@jjay.cuny.edu or by phone at (212)484-1142 or ext. 1142.  To report an incident of one of the below mentioned crimes, please email: cleryreports@jjay.cuny.edu.

CSAs are responsible for reporting allegations of Clery Act crimes that are reported to them in their capacity as a CSA. This means that CSAs are not responsible for investigating or reporting incidents that they overhear students talking about in a hallway conversation; that a classmate or student mentions during an in-class discussion; that a victim mentions during a speech, workshop, or any other form of group presentation; or that the CSA otherwise learns about in an indirect manner.
