Fostering a culture of access, belonging and accountability.
Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ is committed to fostering an environment in which all members of our community are safe, secure, and free from sexual misconduct, discrimination and discriminatory harassment. Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ encourages anyone in our community who has been the target of, or who witnesses, sexual misconduct, discrimination, or harassment based on a protected category to report the incident to the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX Compliance so that those impacted can be provided with information on available resources and options.
All members of the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ University community should be free from discrimination, harassment and sexual misconduct.
The Office of Civil Rights and Title IX Compliance upholds Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ's commitment to fostering such an environment.
We implement University policies related to discrimination, harassment and providing reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities.
All Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ employees, including student employees, are required to report any sexual misconduct, discrimination or harassment of which they become aware during the scope of their work.
We respond to all reports of sexual misconduct by investigating complaints, providing help to those who report misconduct.
We help the University maintain an accessible environment by providing resources to help them create accessible digital assets and physical spaces on campus.
All members of the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ community have rights and responsibilities. Learn more about reporting violations of our policies or requesting accommodations to which you may be entitled.

The 2024 Sexual Misconduct Climate Survey is being conducted by Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ University. The purpose of the study is to provide information about the behaviors and perceptions that current students have related to Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ. The results of the survey will be used to guide policies to encourage a healthy, safe and nondiscriminatory environment at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ and help improve educational resources and assistance.
