What is a CSA?

A Campus Security Authority (CSA) is a student, employee, volunteer, or an individual contracted by the University who is mandated to report Clery Act qualifying crimes that occurred on campus, in public areas bordering campus and in certain non-campus buildings owned or controlled (leased) by the university. 

The Victims of Trafficking and Violence Act of 2000 requires colleges and universities to inform students and employees how to learn the identity of registered sex offenders on campus.  This law contains the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act which becomes effective October 23, 2002.

What acts are considered sex offenses?

According to the Illinois Compiled Statutes, if a person engages in sexual penetration without consent, by use of physical force, coercion or threat (actual or implied), the act is considered assault. Threats of death or use of a weapon increases the severity of legal charges. Sex crimes can be prosecuted even if the victim knew the attacker, the victim did not fight back, the victim had sex with the attacker before being raped, or the victim was drunk or unconscious.
