If you have been the victim of sexual misconduct, we encourage you to report this matter promptly. We are interested in promoting a safe and healthy educational environment, and should we learn of any sexual misconduct, we must report the matter to the Title IX Coordinator, who oversees the University’s centralized review, investigation, and resolution process for reports of sexual misconduct, and also coordinates the University’s compliance with Title IX.
