Mandatory Reporters - Employees Required to Report to an Official with Authority
All employees, except those specifically identified below, are designated as Mandatory Reporters, and must report, by policy, incidents of Prohibited Conduct observed as well as incidents reported to them orally or in writing. Mandatory Reporters must report to an Official with Authority (OWA). At NMU the OWA are the Title IX Coordinator and the Executive Director of Equal Opportunity and Title IX.
The OWA are assigned to implement corrective measures for Prohibited Conduct. A Mandatory Reporter who fails to report a concern or report of a potential violation of this policy within a reasonable time is subject to discipline, up to and including termination.
Employees of NMU Counseling and Consultation Services and the NMU Health Center are designated as Confidential Employees. Confidential Employees will not typically be required to make a report to an OWA without the permission of the person reporting; specific exceptions are allowed by law and regulation, including but not limited to the protection of a minor child, protecting persons at high risk for violence, or to adhere to a court order.
