Any student, prospective student, employee, applicant for employment, or campus visitor who believes that he/she has been subjected to conduct in violation of the Title IX Sexual Harassment or Non-Discrimination and Equal Opportunity Policies or who has observed, knows of, or suspects an occurrence of discriminatory or sexual harassment, sexual assault or other forms of sexual violence, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking is strongly encouraged to immediately contact the Title IX Coordinator or one of the Investigators.

The Title IX Coordinator and Investigators listed below are responsible for, among other things, overseeing reports and complaints brought forward under these policies to assure that matters are handled appropriately and effectively, and for identifying and addressing patterns of misconduct and systemic problems. They also serve as resources available to anyone seeking additional information about the processes and procedures under this Policy, about other resources that may be available to those who experienced misconduct covered by these policies, or to those who wish to file a complaint of an alleged violation of one of these policies.
