System Clery Act Compliance
The WSU System Clery Committee provides leadership and accountability by coordinating systemwide efforts to ensure compliance with the Clery Act, its implementing regulations, and relevant Violence Against Women Act amendments. The Clery Act obligations impact and involve multiple departments, campuses and extension facilities.
Campus Security Authorities
Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) are designated employees who are required to report crimes statistics to their campus crime statistic collector (typically, campus police or security) for inclusion in the annual security report. Reporting also allows your campus safety professionals to determine if timely warnings or emergency notifications to the campus community are warranted.
For an overview of the Clery Act, Campus Security Authorities (CSAs), Clery geography, and Clery crimes, please refer to the CSA Handout. CSAs are encouraged to keep a printed copy of this handout at their workspace.

Why CSA crime reporting is important
- To fulfill WSU’s responsibility to disclose Clery crime statistics annually.
- To issue “Timely Warnings” and “Emergency Notifications” for Clery crimes and events that pose a serious or continuing threat to the campus community.
Types of Crimes to Report
Campus Security Authorities are required to report any of the below crimes occurring within Clery Geography, which includes campus property, non-campus property, and some public property near or within campus. CSAs are not required to know if property is considered Clery Geography or whether or not a crime fits the specific definitions of the crime list below. CSAs are encouraged to report any crime information they have; their campus crime statistics collector will assess whether the crime is considered a Clery reportable crime. Over-reporting also helps ensure the university has sufficient information to determine whether timely warnings or other emergency notifications are warranted.
- Murder, including nonnegligent and negligent manslaughter
- Sexual assault (rape, fondling, incest, statutory rape)
- Domestic Violence
- Dating Violence
- Stalking
- Robberty
- Aggravated Assault
- Burglary
- Motor vehicle theft

- Liquor law violations
- Drug law violations
