Find Resources and Support

Title IX Coordinator

亚洲博彩平台排名's Title IX coordinator receives and manages reports of sexual misconduct from the campus community, including visitors, and also oversees and facilitates the resolution process to promote accountability.

After receiving a sexual misconduct report, the Title IX coordinator contacts the impacted individual and offers to share rights and resources. If you choose to meet with the Title IX coordinator, you will learn about support services, how to report and the hearing process. Meeting with the Title IX coordinator does not mean you have to make a report.
