Mandatory Reporters
Mandatory reporters are trained in being a first responder for students facing Title IX related issues and provide support to individuals who meet with them. To ensure a student is safe and has all campus options available to them, mandatory reporters are required to report Title IX related concerns to the Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator will then reach out to the student to discuss the process and options available to them to prevent, end, and remedy the harassment.
