Equity, Compliance and Title IX
Submit a Report
Reports to the Office of Equity and Compliance can be made in person, via phone, email, or online by submitting an incident report. When a report is made, our staff will reach out to the Complainant and provide the resources and information necessary to ensure safety and support. A Formal Investigation will only be initiated with consent of the Complainant or when the University believes necessary.
In Compliance with Title IX, the Office of Equity and Compliance receives reports of harassment and/or discrimination regarding students, faculty, staff, or campus visitors. By making a report, those experiencing harassment or discrimination will receive support and/or accommodations and are provided the information necessary regarding their rights and resources to be able to make an informed decision moving forward. Reporting to the Office of Equity and Compliance helps to facilitate a safe and healthy educational and work environment in which educational programs, employment, and activities are free of discrimination and harassment. The office administers and ensures compliance with Title IX and University policies, procedures, and programs on equal opportunity, discrimination, affirmative action, harassment, sexual misconduct, stalking, and retaliation.
The Office of Equity and Compliance staff are available Monday through Friday, 8am - 5pm.

Notice of Nondiscrimination
The University of Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, citizenship, age, sex, physical or mental disability, status as a protected veteran, marital status, changes in marital status, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, parenthood, sexual orientation, gender identity, political affiliation or belief, genetic information, or other legally protected status.
When implementing this commitment, the University is guided by Title VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Civil Rights Act of 1991; Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; Executive Order 11246, and Executive Order 11375, as amended; Equal Pay Act of 1963; Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and Age Discrimination Act of 1975; Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974; Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990; the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008; Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008; Pregnancy Discrimination Act; Immigration Reform & Control Act; Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and other federal laws or Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ Statutes which guarantee equal opportunity to individuals and protected classes within our society.
The University's commitment to nondiscrimination, including against sex discrimination, applies to students, employees, and applicants for admission and employment.
This policy therefore affects employment policies and actions, as well as the delivery of educational services at all levels and facilities of the University. Further, the University's objective of ensuring equal opportunity will be met by taking affirmative action: i.e., making intensified, goal-oriented efforts to substantially increase the participation of groups where their representation is less than proportionate to their availability; providing reasonable accommodations to employees and students with disabilities; and ensuring that employment opportunities are widely disseminated to agencies and organizations that serve underrepresented protected classes.
