Mandatory Reporting

At Lamar State College Port Arthur, we take sexual misconduct (in all its forms) extremely seriously. Therefore, if any LSCPA employee, supervisor, or faculty member ("Responsible Employee") is aware of an allegation of discrimination or sexual misconduct, they are required to report incidents to the Title IX Coordinator. 

 

Reporting to Responsible Employees 

Before a victim or reporting party reveals any information to a Responsible Employee, the employee should ensure that the victim or reporting party understands the employee’s reporting obligations. If the victim or reporting party requests anonymity and confidentiality, the Responsible Employee should refer the victim to a Confidential Employee. 

If the victim or reporting party reports an incident to the Responsible Employee but also requests confidentiality or requests that the matter not be investigated, the employee should tell the victim that the College will consider the request but cannot guarantee that the College will be able to honor it. In reporting the details of the incident to the Title IX Coordinator, the Responsible Employee will inform the Title IX Coordinator of the victim or reporting party’s request for confidentiality.

 

Confidential Reporting

LSCPA does not employ a confidential reporting employee.
