A campus security authority is not responsible for determining authoritatively whether a
crime took place—that is the function of University Police. A campus security authority
should not try to apprehend the alleged perpetrator of the crime. That too is the
responsibility of University Police. It’s also not a CSA’s responsibility to try and convince a
victim to contact University Police if the victim chooses not to do so.
