TITLE IX REPORTING

Any student or employee who believes that he or she has experienced power-based violence (e.g., dating/domestic violence, sexual assault, sex discrimination, sexual harassment, stalking) has a right to report the incident(s) to the Campus Title IX Coordinator or to any other mandatory reporter (responsible employee). All LSU Health Shreveport employees, with the exception of Confidential Advisors (detailed below), are required to report any incident of power-based violence to the Campus Title IX Coordinator.
