What is Title IX?
The University Title IX Office exists to ensure that anyone who has experienced a form of sexual harassment be provided the supportive measures, resources, and accommodations available at the University.
This includes sexual discrimination, sexual harrassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual exploitation or stalking, or other types of sexual misconduct.
The office is also responsible for investigating these complaints made by students or employees in an effort to stop the activity, put measures in place so that it does not happen again, and to provide a remedy to the individual(s) who was harmed.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972
Title IX (Title 9) is the federal law that prohibits discrimination, harassment, and violence on the basis of sex (including gender identity) in any federally funded educational program or activity.
What does Title IX mean to me?

- Educating members of the University community;
- Identifying clear reporting requirements;
