- false

Answer 1

As a Campus Security Authority, you must report incidents learned about indirectly under the Clery Act, which mandates disclosure of security information and crime statistics.

Step-by-step explanation:

True, as a Campus Security Authority (CSA), you must report any Clery Act crimes that you become aware of, whether you learn about them directly or indirectly. This includes overhearing conversations, incidents mentioned in classroom discussions, a victim's speech, or any other indirect manner of learning about such incidents. The reporting obligation is part of compliance with the Clery Act, which has established clear guidelines requiring higher education institutions to disclose campus security information and crime statistics. This act seeks to ensure transparency and uphold student and employee safety on campus. In addition to crime reporting, the Clery Act mandates the publication of an annual security report, maintenance of a public crime log, disclosure of specific criminal incidents, issuance of timely warnings about threats, and development of emergency response strategies, among other requirements.

Answer 2

True. Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) are individuals who, due to their roles within an educational institution, are federally mandated to report certain types of incidents, including crimes, to the campus security or police.
