Which of the following scenarios does NOT require a CSA to report an incident?

In the context of the Clery Act and the responsibilities of Campus Security Authorities (CSAs), one key aspect to understand is the nature of the reporting obligations. When a victim reports an incident directly to law enforcement, they are effectively choosing to engage the legal system and initiate a formal response. In this case, the CSA's obligation to report the incident is alleviated because the victim has already sought the appropriate channel for handling the situation.

Reporting to law enforcement generally means the situation is under official scrutiny, and any necessary actions or follow-up will be managed by those trained and empowered to handle it. This establishes a clear boundary on reporting obligations for CSAs, as they do not need to report what the victim has already brought to law enforcement's attention.

In contrast, overhearing discussions of an incident in casual conversation, a student discussing it in class, or a victim mentioning it during a presentation represents informal channels of communication. CSAs have a duty to report these informal incidents because they have the potential to involve serious crimes or safety concerns that the institution must address. Therefore, the situation where the victim directly reports to law enforcement does not require further action from the CSA, distinguishing it from the other scenarios.
