Permanent Memorandum 16 (PM-16)—Protection of Minors Participating in University Programs

Although PM-16 is now in effect, LSU is preparing procedures for compliance and enforcement.  Until such procedures are put in place, programs are temporarily waived from full compliance with PM-16 although efforts should be made toward full compliance whenever possible.  Aside from PM-16, all programs must be in compliance with state and federal laws and regulations regarding working with minors at all times.

Reporting

To report suspected abuse or neglect of a minor, call the State of Louisiana Hotline at 1-855-4LA-KIDS (1-855-452-5437) toll-free, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All calls are confidential.
