If the university has the name of the perpetrator and the location of the crime then certainly the university would be "on notice" and have an obligation to report and investigate the crime.  In setting up this kind of system you definitely want to be sure to instal an IP scrambler so that there is no way to track who made the report.  If you do not have one then the university may be obligated to track down the reporting party!  Yikes.

Hello, All,

 

We are revising our Sexual Misconduct policy and are interested in implementing an option for either confidential or anonymous reporting of sexual misconduct through a public safety website.  The question that arose is this:  “under Clary, is there a mandate to report if the perpetrator is named (in the confidential/anonymous report)”?

 

Anyone have any feedback on this topic?  Also, if anyone has any input regarding their experience with this type of reporting, it would also be appreciated.

 

Thanks so much,

Rebecca
