Emergency Reporting
About Reporting
Individuals have the right to report misconduct to local law enforcement agencies. The Title IX/EO Coordinator will assist with such reporting, upon request.
In accordance with South Dakota Codified Law 22-11-12 – Misprision of felony – “Any person who, having knowledge, which is not privileged, of the commission of a felony, conceals the felony, or does not immediately disclose the felony, including the name of the perpetrator, if known, and all of the other relevant known facts, to the proper authorities, is guilty of misprision of a felony. Misprision of a felony is a Class 1 misdemeanor.” Thus, there are times when the Title IX/EO Coordinator is legally bound to report alleged conduct, even if this is despite the victim’s wishes. In such circumstances, the victim is not required to participate in the legal process.
