Bias and Discrimination Resources

Title IX Office

The University Title IX office is responsible for facilitating the University’s compliance with Title IX, including sexual discrimination and/or harassment.

The Know Your Rights & Resources guide is intended for any member of the University community who has experienced sexual assault, stalking, relationship or intimate partner violence, sexual harassment, or other sexual misconduct. The guide provides important information on resources and reporting options so that individuals can decide what feels right for their situation. Colleagues and friends of those who have experienced harm may also find the guide useful.
