  7. Identifying Campus Security Authorities In order to ensure all criminal activity is disclosed, the Clery Act requires UNT to identify individuals and organizations to which crimes may be reported as a result of their position with UNT. These individuals and organizations are called Campus Security Authorities (CSAs). If you’re participating in this training, UNT has identified your position as a CSA and you have specific responsibilities that are required by federal law!

  8. The following individuals and organizations have been identified as Campus Security Authorities (CSA). Members of the UNT Police Department Individuals who have responsibility for campus security but are not members of the UNT Police Department. An example would be an individual that monitors the entrance into buildings and property or acts as event security. An individual or organization specified in the institution’s statement of campus security policy as an individual or organization to which students and employees should report criminal offenses. UNT has designated this to be the UNT Police Department. 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. Examples include deans, directors, department heads, coaches, trainers, hall directors, resident assistants, academic advisors, and faculty advisors to student groups.

  9. The following individuals are not considered CSAs. A faculty member who does not have any responsibility for students and campus activity beyond the classroom Clerical or cafeteria staff Facilities or maintenance staff Any support position that does not have significant responsibility for students and campus activities

  10. CSA Responsibilities CSAs are required to notify the UNT Police of alleged Clery crimes reported to them that were made in good faith. These reports will be used by UNT to: Fulfill its responsibility to annually disclose Clery crime statistics To issue timely warnings for Clery crimes that pose a threat to the campus community Enter the information on the daily crime log

  11. CSA Responsibilities CSAs should provide information to the person seeking assistance on how to report a crime • The CSA should follow up with the police and verify the crime was reported If the person does not want to contact police, the CSA should report the crime to the UNT Police

A bias-related (hate) crime is not a separate, distinct crime, but is the commission of a criminal offense which was motivated by the offender's bias. For example, a subject assaults a victim, which is a crime. If the facts of the case indicate that the offender was motivated to commit the offense because of his bias against the victim's race, sexual orientation, etc... the assault is then also classified as a hate crime.
