Faculty and staff members who are identified as potential campus security authorities (CSA) will soon receive an email from the Missouri S&T Police Department.

The Clery Act defines a CSA as those who have “significant responsibility for student and campus activities.” As a CSA under the Clery Act, identified individuals are responsible for reporting certain crimes to the S&T Police. Individuals who receive the email will be asked to provide information by completing an online form no later than Thursday, April 30.

Crimes that must be reported include murder, manslaughter, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, arson, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking and hate crimes. Referrals for campus disciplinary action for liquor law violations, drug law violations and weapon law violations are also required to be reported.
