Our recent article "Compelled Disclosure of College Sexual Assault" examines college and university policies requiring most, if not all, employees to report student disclosures of sexual assault to university authorities, with or without student consent. We provided evidence that these mandatory reporting policies have become ubiquitous in American higher education, despite limited evidence of their safety or efficacy. Commenting on our article, Newins offers helpful advice for psychologists navigating the role of "responsible employee," such as seeking out information about their campus policy for reporting sexual assault disclosures and informing students of reporting mandates. The comment concludes with a call for researchers to investigate the many questions that remain unanswered about these policies. We agree with Newins's recommendations and, in this reply, encourage psychologists to push the envelope further. In addition to better understanding and managing reporting responsibilities, psychologists should advocate for policies that respect survivor autonomy, dignity, and right to self-determination.

我们最近的文章《强制披露大学性侵事件》探讨了大学和学院的政策，这些政策要求大多数（如果不是全部的话）员工向大学当局报告学生披露的性侵事件，无论学生是否同意。我们提供的证据表明，尽管这些强制性报告政策的安全性或有效性证据有限，但在美国高等教育中已经无处不在。Newins 在评论我们的文章时，为心理学家在扮演“负责任的员工”角色时提供了有用的建议，例如寻找有关其校园报告性侵披露政策的信息，并告知学生有关报告要求。评论最后呼吁研究人员调查这些政策仍未回答的许多问题。我们同意 Newins 的建议，并在这篇回复中鼓励心理学家进一步推动这一问题。除了更好地理解和管理报告责任外，心理学家还应该倡导尊重幸存者自主权、尊严和自决权的政策。（PsycINFO 数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
