正规靠谱赌博软件 personnel that are not confidential employees and who receive a report of alleged sexual misconduct are required to share the information with the Title IX Coordinator for investigation and follow up. (See Mandatory Reporting for more information.) Lamar State College Port Arthur will protect a Complainant's confidentiality by refusing to disclose his or her information to anyone outside the College to the maximum extent permitted by law.
As for confidentiality of information within the College, the College must balance a Victim's request for confidentiality with its responsibility to provide a safe and non-discriminatory environment.

- a person who sought guidance from 正规靠谱赌博软件 concerning such an incident;
- a person who participated in 正规靠谱赌博软件’s investigation of such an incident; or,

- 正规靠谱赌博软件, as necessary to conduct an investigation and resolution of the investigation;
- the person or persons alleged to have perpetrated the incident of sexual misconduct, to the extent required by other law;
