Campus Security Authority Training
The Clery Act
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (“Clery Act”) was enacted in memory of Jeanne Clery, a student who was raped and murdered by a fellow student in her Lehigh University residence hall in 1986.
This complex federal law administered by the U.S. Department of Education requires institutions of higher education participating in federal financial aid programs to maintain and disclose campus crime data and security information.
In some cases, “Clery” crimes (especially sexual assaults) may not be reported to police or security, but instead are told to other campus representatives such as faculty and staff. The Clery Act requires that institutions collect reports of crime from people holding positions that Clery considers to be “Campus Security Authorities” (CSA).
This page contains a training module for Grand Valley State University designated Campus Security Authorities. On an annual basis, the University reviews and updates the list of individuals who hold positions designated as CSAs under the requirements of the Clery Act and the Department of Public Safety oversees annual training for these individuals.

Please also review the following information on Title IX Mandatory Reporting:
Title IX Mandatory Reporting
In addition to being a Campus Security Authority, you are also required to report to the Title IX Coordinator whenever you are notification of sexual misconduct.
Sexual Misconduct includes:
- Sexual Harassment
- Gender-Based Harassment
- Sexual Assault
- Sexual Exploitation
- Stalking
- Dating Abuse/Violence
- Domestic Abuse/Violence
Good news! When you make a report involving any of the above incidents of sexual misconduct, the report goes to both Public Safety and Title IX. You do not need to make two reports, or determine which office is more appropriate to report to. Public safety will never investigate a report of sexual misconduct unless requested. The information is documented for statistical purposes.
