[Eoscstudents] Campus Security Authorities - General Information

[Bryan Denny]

Students, Faculty, and Staff,

According to a federal law known as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus
Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, our school is required to
disclose “statistics concerning the occurrence of certain criminal offenses
reported to local law enforcement agencies or any official of the
institution who is defined as a ‘Campus Security Authority.”

The law defines “Campus Security Authority” as:  “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.”  An example would be a dean
of students who oversees student housing, a student center, or a student
extra-curricular activities and has significant responsibility for student
and campus activities.  Similarly, director of athletics, team coach, and
faculty advisor to a student group also have significant responsibility for
student and campus activities.  A single teaching faculty member is
unlikely to have significant responsibility for student and campus
activities, except when serving as an advisor to a student group,  Clerical
staffs, as well, are unlikely to have significant responsibility for
student and campus activities.

The criminal offenses for which we are required to disclose statistics are
murder/non-negligent manslaughter, negligent manslaughter, sex offenses
(forcible and non-forcible), robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor
vehicle theft, arson, liquor law violations, drug abuse violations and
weapons; carrying, possessing, etc.  We are required to report statistics
for bias-related (hate) crimes for the following offenses:
murder/non-negligent
manslaughter, sex offenses (forcible and non-forcible), robbery, aggravated
assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny-theft, vandalism,
intimidation, simple assault, and damage/destruction/vandalism of property.
We are required to disclose statistics for offenses that occur on campus,
in or non-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by our school,
and public property within or immediately adjacent to our campus.

Our School has a responsibility to notify the campus community about any
crimes which pose an ongoing threat to the community, and, as such, campus
security authorities are obligated by law to report crimes to the college
police department.  Even if you are not sure whether an ongoing threat
exists, immediately contact the college police department.

If you have any questions about this request please contact me at
918-465-1755.
