Required annual Campus Security Authority training

Submitted by Ryan Van Dusen

Campus Security Authority, or CSA, training is available for Kansas State University community members who are required to complete it each year under PPM 3110. This training reviews their responsibility to report crimes on and off campus.

CSAs have a federally mandated reporting obligation. Each year, universities must collect and publish data on specific crimes reported to certain employees whose roles, as defined by the Clery Act, qualify them as CSAs.

The following groups at K-State have been identified as CSAs:

• University police: Any commissioned police officer employed by the university.
• Individuals with campus security responsibility: Any individuals who have responsibility for campus security but do not constitute a campus police; for example, campus security officers.
• Officials who have significant responsibility for student and campus activities. 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.

• Faculty or staff advisors to registered student organizations.
• Athletic directors, including executive and associate athletic directors.
• Athletic coaches, including assistant coaches.
• Staff across student affairs and housing.
