Campus Security Authority Training
Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) are University officials with significant responsibility for student and campus activities, designated to report information about criminal incidents, which in turn are received by Public Safety.
Cabrini University’s CSAs include, but are not limited to:
- Public Safety Officers
- Resident Assistants, Area Directors, and the Director of Residence Life
- Director and Assistant Director of Human Resources
- Admissions Counselors
- Dean of Students and Staff in the Offices of Human Resources, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, and Student Engagement and Leadership
- Coaches, Trainers, and the Director of Athletics and Recreation
- Faculty Advisors and the Title IX Compliance Officer
CSAs collect necessary information and make connections to helpful resources.
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) requires that CSAs report certain crimes to Public Safety, regardless of whether those crimes have been reported to external law-enforcement agencies.
Training and Testing for CSAs
CSAs are required by law to receive annual training and resources from the Department of Public Safety.
Each year, before September 1, CSAs must review a training video and complete testing.
How To Report A Clery Crime
CSAs are not expected to act as investigators. Their duty is only to report the basic facts: the Who, What, When, Where, and How of an alleged crime as reported by a victim or a third party (e.g., a direct witness, a friend or relative of the victim).
Certain crimes—known collectively as “Clery Act crimes”—include the following:
- Criminal Homicide (murder, manslaughter)
- Sexual Assault (including rape, fondling, incest, statutory rape)
- Robbery, Burglary, Arson, Motor Vehicle Theft (aka Stolen Auto)
- Stalking, Aggravated Assault
- Dating Violence, Domestic Violence
CSAs must report all Clery Act crimes immediately if the victim is a Cabrini student, faculty or staff member, visitor, guest, prospective student, or prospective employee who has received an Employment Application.
Regardless of how much time has passed since the incident, all Clery Crimes must be reported to the Department of Public Safety immediately.
A very critical piece of information is the location where the crime occurred: on‑ or off‑campus, in a residence hall, in an academic building or other campus facilities, etc.
CSAs who have any question about whether to report an incident should contact DJ Diallo, Director, Public Safety, at 610.902.8251 or dd10654@cabrini.edu.
Acting on Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. Sexual harassment, which includes sexual violence, is a form of sex discrimination and is prohibited under the Cabrini Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Policy.
This act applies to any student, employee, or applicant for employment or admission to the university.
In accordance with the act, Cabrini University prohibits sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, stalking and retaliation. Title IX and the University’s Policy also applies to acts of intimate partner violence.
