Eastern Michigan University Campus Security Authorities
Campus Security Authorities
Campus security authorities, as defined by the Clery Act, have
an obligation to report allegations of Clery Act-defined crimes
that they conclude are made in good faith. These crime allegations
should be reported to the EMU Police Department or to the local
police. The Clery Act definition of a campus security authority
includes EMU personnel beyond EMU police officers. An official
of EMU who has significant responsibility for student and campus
activities, including but not limited to, student housing,
student discipline and campus judicial proceedings, is a campus
security authority. The intent of including non-law enforcement
personnel as campus security authorities is to acknowledge
that many individuals and students in particular are hesitant
about reporting crimes to the police, but may be more inclined
to report incidents to other campus-affiliated individuals.
CSA Report Form
Counselors Confidential Reporting
Campus Pastoral Counselors and campus Professional Counselors,
when acting as such, are not considered to be campus security
authorities and are not required to report crimes for inclusion
into the annual disclosure of crime statistics. As a matter of
policy, they are encouraged; if and when they deem it appropriate,
to inform persons being counseled of the procedures to report
crimes on a voluntary basis for inclusion into the annual crime
statistics.
The Clery Act defines Counselors as:
Pastoral Counselor: An employee of an institution, who is associated
with a religious order or denomination, recognized by that denomination
as someone who provides confidential counseling and who is functioning
within the scope of that recognition as a pastoral counselor.
Professional Counselor: An employee of an institution whose official
responsibilities include providing psychological counseling to
members of the institution’s community and who is functioning
within the scope of his or her license or certification.
