The Office of Title IX Programs and Gender Equity is committed to proactively addressing Title IX  issues, providing support resources and information related to sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, gender discrimination, and gender-based violence related to students, staff, and faculty. Our office efforts are multifaceted and include prevention programming, policy compliance, and investigating incidents of sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, gender discrimination, and gender-based violence.

Please note, the Office of Title IX Programs and Gender Equity is the immediate contact for responsible employees to report cases related to sexual misconduct and interpersonal violence disclosed to them by a student. Responsible employees are employees in select, designated university roles, who are required by law to report any information related to incidents of interpersonal violence.
