The Department of State (DOS) requires institutions like the University of Maryland to report significant incidents involving J-1 or J-2 exchange visitors.  DOS has indicated that any incident that impacts the health, safety, or welfare of J-1 visa holders or that could bring the DOS exchange visitor program notoriety or disrepute is reportable to the DOS. Examples include serious medical issues, hospitalization, natural disasters, allegations of sexual harassment or misconduct. Upon learning of a reportable incident, ISSS is required to report it to DOS within one day.
