    Title IX, Coordinators and Their Roles

    The Title IX coordinator and deputies seek first and foremost to ensure that the victim is safe, and that the campus community is protected. They will meet with the victim of the reported sexual misconduct.

    The Title IX coordinator and deputies are trained in college sexual misconduct and will provide expert and empathetic counsel.

    When to Contact a Title IX Coordinator or Deputy

    • If you wish to understand your options if you think you may have encountered sex discrimination or sexual misconduct.
    • If you learn of a situation that you feel may warrant a university investigation.
    • If you need help on how to handle a situation by which you are indirectly affected.
    • If you seek guidance on possible informal remedies or administrative measures to de-escalate or alleviate a difficult situation.
    • If you have questions about the university’s policies and procedures.
