Individuals may choose to report a crime to a CSA. The CSA has the authority and duty to take action by collecting as much information as possible and report the information to KUPD immediately. NOTIFICATION AND TRAINING OF CAMPUS SECURITY AUTHORITIES Members of the KU community that are designated as Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) are notified in writing of their status on an annual basis. This notification includes information regarding the responsibilities of CSAs, definitions of Clery-reportable crimes, compliance requirements, information on how to report a crime, a link to the Kutztown University Campus Security Authority Incident Report Form as well as instructions on how to use it, and guidelines on how to access the CSA online training module developed by The Clery Center for Security on Campus and tracked through the University’s D2L, an integrated learning platform. Please refer to Appendix A for a listing of Kutztown University Campus Security Authorities. PROFESSIONAL AND PASTORAL COUNSELORS Campus professional mental health counselors, when acting as such, are not considered to be CSAs and are not required to report crimes for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics, unless mandated under 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 provides this encouragement in writing to members of the University Counseling and Psychological Services department on an annual basis. KU does not employ campus pastoral counselors. Medical providers, when acting as such, are considered to be CSAs and are required to report crimes for inclusion in the annual disclosure of crime statistics. Counting and Classifying Crime Statistics The Clery Act requires all institutions to include four extensive 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 definitions 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+2b-negligent Manslaughter is defined as the willful (non-negligent) killing of one human being by another. • Manslaughter by Negligence. Negligent Manslaughter is defined as the killing of another person through gross negligence.
