Even at institutions with a police department on campus like OU, an OU community member who is the victim of a crime may report it to someone other than the campus police. For example, a victim of a sexual offense may turn to a resident advisor for assistance, or a student whose car was stolen may report the theft to their college Dean’s Office. For this reason, the Clery Act requires institutions to collect crime reports from a variety of individuals and organizations that are considered to be “campus security authorities” under the law.
If a CSA receives a crime report from a member of the OU community (student, employee, volunteer, guest, other), they must report it to the their campus’ OU Police Department immediately. A victim’s identity may be kept confidential when reporting, but the crime itself must be reported to OUPD per federal law. CSAs may inform their supervisor, dean or vice president of the report if internal policies require, but the crime must be reported directly to OUPD by the CSA that received the report.
This form may be used to make a CSA report for the Norman, Health Sciences Center, OU-Tulsa and OU in Arezzo campuses. The university Clery Act compliance coordinator and OUPD will be notified when reports are submitted.
