All University Officials, Volunteers and Employees (including student employees) are obligated to report incidents of sex discrimination and sex-based harassment of which they become aware to the Equal Opportunity and Title IX Coordinator.

The only exceptions to these reporting obligations are for those who serve in a role that makes such reports privileged or are recognized as providing a confidential resource, specifically:

  • The mental health professionals at the Department of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
  • The health care professionals at the ESU Student Health Center at Lehigh Valley Hospital - Pocono

These two reporting exceptions do not apply to reports of sexual misconduct involving an individual who was or is a child (a person under 18 years of age) when the abuse allegedly occurred. When a report involves suspected abuse of a child (a person under the age of 18 at the time of the incident), all University Employees, Officials and Volunteers are required to notify the University Police at (570) 422-3064 and the ChildLine run by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services at (1-800) 932-0313. All other members of the University community are strongly encouraged to report suspected child abuse to law enforcement or the ChildLine.
