Responsible Employees

At Indiana University, Responsible Employees are those who are required to share information about incidents of sexual misconduct. Training is required for all Responsible Employees. Responsible Employees may also be considered Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) for purposes of Clery Act crime reporting.

If you are a Responsible Employee and you receive a complaint of sexual misconduct, it is your duty to report the incident. If you have any doubts about your obligations, you should contact your campus Deputy Title IX Coordinator.
