Please refer to Appendix A on page 53 for a listing of Kutztown University Campus Security Authorities. Professional and Pastoral Counselors When acting as such, campus professional mental health counselors are not considered CSAs. They are not required to report crimes for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics unless mandated under the scope of license or law. However, campus professional counselors are encouraged, if and when they deem it appropriate, to inform persons being counseled of the procedures to report crimes on a voluntary and confidential basis for inclusion in the annual crime statistics. The KUPD annually provides this encouragement in writing to University Counseling and Psychological Services department members. KU does not employ campus pastoral counselors. When acting as such, medical providers are considered CSAs and are required to report crimes for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics. Clery Crimes The Clery Act requires all institutions to include four general categories of crime statistics in their Annual Security Reports. They include criminal offenses, hate crimes, VAWA offenses and arrests and referrals for disciplinary action for weapons law violations (carrying and/or possessing, etc.), drug abuse violations and liquor law violations. The University uses the following defi nitions of criminal offenses when classifying and counting crime statistics. Criminal Offenses Criminal Offenses include criminal homicide (murder and non-negligent manslaughter, manslaughter by negligence), sexual assault (rape, fondling, incest and statutory rape), robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, and arson. Criminal Homicide. Criminal Homicide offenses are separated into two categories: Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter, and Manslaughter by Negligence. Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter Murder and non-negligent manslaughter is defi ned as the willful (non-negligent) killing of one human being by another. Manslaughter by Negligence Manslaughter by Negligence is defined as the killing of another person through gross negligence. Sexual Assault (Sex Offenses) Sexual Assault is defined as any sexual act directed against another person without the consent of the victim, including instances where the victim is incapable of giving consent. The four types of Sexual Assault that must be reported in this Annual Security Report are: Rape Rape is defined as the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim. Fondling Fondling is defined as the touching of the private body parts of another person for the purpose of sexual gratification without the consent of the victim, including instances where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of his/her age or because of his/her temporary or permanent mental incapacity. Incest Incest is defined as sexual intercourse between persons who are related to each other within the degrees wherein marriage is prohibited by law. 8
