The
Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (20 USC § 1092(f)) is the landmark federal law that requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. The Clery Act requires institutions to report statistics related to certain crimes occurring within and immediately surrounding the geographical boundaries of the campus and any related buildings owned or operated by the University. The statistics are publicly accessible
here.
While the College recommends that all crimes and incidents be reported to Campus Police, it is recognized that reports may go to other individuals instead. The Clery Act defines individuals at colleges and universities that may typically receive such reports as Campus Security Authorities (CSAs). CSAs are individuals and organizations in functions related to: campus law enforcement or security, responsibility for monitoring access to facilities or serving as event security, or significant responsibility for student and campus activities. CSAs may be full-time, part-time or volunteer, and maybe employees, students or volunteers in these roles. CSAs are trained annually by the Office for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. The log of those trained and accompanying documents are stored in the Office for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. CSAs are trained to forward to Campus Police in a timely manner any reports of crimes or incidents they receive.
At UVA Wise, CSAs include individuals in these areas:

CSA's are determined by criteria established in United States Department of Education’s The Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting.
*Exceptions include the following individuals in these areas who are NOT designated as CSAs at UVA Wise: The Counseling Center's LPCs (excluding the director), Health Clinic RN and FNP and the College's licensed athletic trainers. As a result of the negotiated rulemaking process which followed the signing into law, the 1998 amendments to 20 U.S.C. Section 1092 (f), clarification was given to those considered to be Campus Security Authorities.
