Most MSU employees are considered Mandatory Reporters for all matters involving sexual assault, harassment, or other forms of sexual misconduct.
If you are employed by MSU in any capacity—full time or part time—you should assume that reporting is mandatory for you unless you fall into one of the exceptions listed in MSU’s Sexual Misconduct Policy (e.g., counselors and medical staff) or have been explicitly informed by your supervisor that you are not required to report.
If you are a student employee such as a Resident Assistant or Grad Assistant, your Mandatory Reporting duties apply to the extent you are performing your job duties. For example, a Resident Assistant would be required to report sexual harassment they learned about from a resident, but not necessarily from a non-resident personal friend during a private conversation. This limitation does not apply to full time faculty or staff.
