Harassment and Nondiscrimination

The core purpose of the Policy Prohibiting Discrimination and Harassment is the prohibition of all forms of discrimination. Sometimes, discrimination involves exclusion from or different treatment in activities, such as admission, athletics, or employment. Other times, discrimination takes the form of harassment or, in the case of sex-based discrimination, can encompass sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, sexual exploitation, dating violence or domestic violence.

The Title IX Coordinator, Deputy Title IX Coordinator, and Nondiscrimination Coordinator are available to receive reports or complaints about conduct that may constitute Discrimination, Harassment, or Retaliation. The University has established an online reporting system to receive complaints of Sex-Based Harassment and other forms of Prohibited Conduct, and the system has the option of reporting anonymously.
