Role of the Title IX Coordinator

For the most current information, please see the We Care website.

The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for and authorized to coordinate the university’s efforts to comply with and carry out its responsibilities under Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in education programs and activities for institutions that receive federal financial assistance, as well as retaliation for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege protected by Title IX. The Title IX Coordinator also oversees the university’s response to all reports and complaints of Prohibited Conduct under this policy to monitor outcomes, identify any patterns, and assess their effects on the campus climate. The Title IX Coordinator monitors for barriers to reporting sex discrimination and takes reasonable steps to address such barriers. The Title IX Coordinator evaluates requests for confidentiality or requests not to proceed with a complaint of Prohibited Conduct under this policy in the context of the university’s responsibility to provide a safe and welcoming campus environment free from all forms of discrimination based on sex. The Title IX Coordinator is also responsible for effective implementation of any supportive measures or remedies for Prohibited Conduct under the Sex-Based Misconduct Policy, and for overseeing the university’s recordkeeping obligations under Title IX.

A person should contact the lead Title IX Coordinator’s office to:

  1. seek information or training about rights and available actions to resolve reports or formal complaints involving potential sex discrimination, sex-based harassment, and/or other misconduct under the Sex-Based Misconduct Policy;
  2. file a formal complaint or make a report of sex discrimination, sex-based harassment, and/or other misconduct under the Sex-Based Misconduct Policy;
  3. obtain information about the availability of and for coordination of resources (including confidential resources) and supportive measures relating to sex discrimination, sex-based harassment, and/or other misconduct under the Sex-Based Misconduct Policy;
  4. notify the University of an incident, policy, or procedure that may raise potential Title IX concerns; and
  5. ask questions about the University’s policies and procedures related to sex discrimination, sex-based harassment, and/or other misconduct under the Sex-Based Misconduct Policy.

The Title IX Office staff can coordinate specific actions for students who are pregnant or experiencing related conditions to prevent sex discrimination and ensure the student’s equal access to the university’s education program or activities. The staff meet with students to discuss and assist with reasonable modifications based on pregnancy or related conditions, rights of students who are pregnant or experiencing related conditions, answer policy and procedure questions, and can connect them with campus resources.
