The University of Michigan has developed a new robust process for identifying, notifying, training and tracking employees who have responsibility under federal regulations to report certain crimes to the university.
As required under the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crimes Act employees identified as campus security authorities — or CSAs — are required to report information about crimes to the university. The Clery Act requires colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to maintain and disclose crime statistics and security information to the public.
The new U-M policy — Standard Practice Guide 601.91, Clery Act Compliance — outlines the expectations of the U-M Division of Public Safety and Security and CSAs under the Clery Act. It applies to the Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint campuses.
“The new policy increases awareness of the important role DPSS and CSAs have in maintaining campus safety and security,” said Eddie Washington, executive director of DPSS. “While employees identified as campus security authorities have an obligation to share information with campus police under the Clery Act, all members of the U-M community are encouraged to report any information about crime.”
DPSS shares crime statistics publicly in an annual security and fire safety report each October. The types of crimes covered include sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, stalking, theft and aggravated assault.
