TITLE IX
Letter from Coordinator
Every student, staff and faculty has the right to work and learn in a safe environment. This includes an environment free from sex and gender discrimination, including sexual assault, relationship or intimate partner violence, stalking, sexual harassment, and/or other sexual misconduct. All members of the campus community, including contracted employees, are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of others.
Knowing your options, rights and resources that can help will make this a better community for everyone. I am here to help with the resources that are available. Together, we are committed to preventing sexual harassment, sexual violence, and other forms of sexual misconduct on our campus.
The Title IX Coordinator oversees compliance with all aspects of this policy and questions should be related directly to them. If you would like to speak with someone confidentially about your reporting options or experience, please contact one of the following resources:
