Additional Requirements
In addition to the information provided in the Student Organization Resource Guide, all student organization advisers have the following requirements:
Mandatory Reporter
All advisers should be aware of the University's Mandatory Reporting Policy.
As a mandatory reporter, if you become aware of possible discrimination, including harassment, you MUST promptly inform the University within one (1) business day by contacting the Title IX/504 Coordinator and Equity Compliance Officer or one the deputy coordinators. Reporting is required regardless of whether the discrimination involves students, faculty, staff, or visitors to the University.
Anonymous reporting does not satisfy an employee’s duty to report incidents under this policy.
Campus Security Authority
Due to the nature of your contact with students while serving as a student organization adviser, you are required to annually complete the Campus Security Authority (CSA) training provided by Public Safety. CSAs are required to report crimes reported to them to Public Safety. The annual training helps CSAs to comply with that responsibility under Clery (Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy Act). More information about CSAs can be found in the University's Public Safety Policy.
Confidential Reporting of Concerns or Incidents
The University of Dayton is committed to the highest ethical standards of conduct. To help maintain those standards, the University seeks the help of the University community and its visitors to raise concerns and report in good faith any activity that an individual reasonably considers to be unethical, illegal, fraudulent, or in direct violation of University policy. Individuals should report such conduct, regardless of whether or not they are personally involved in the matter.
If an individual wishes to file a report anonymously, they may do so through the University of Dayton Confidential Reporting Line, provided by a third-party, at www.udayton.ethicspoint.com or 1-855-550-0654. However, the effectiveness of any inquiry may be limited when an individual has chosen to not be identified.
Anonymous reporting does not satisfy an employee’s duty to report as a mandatory reporter or Campus Security Authority.
Hazing Prevention Education
Advisers should be aware of the University's Hazing Policy and their role in preventing and reporting suspected hazing.
PreventZone is a hazing prevention education module that all undergraduate students, faculty/staff advisers, coaches, and UD volunteers must complete prior to participation in order to be in compliance with State and Federal law. The Hazing Prevention 101 Course is the only required training.
The University of Dayton utilizes Prevent Zone training to meet this standard which can be found here: https://udayton.edu/studev/leadership/hazing_prevention/index.php.
