Safety & Equity at UWO
Title IX Teams
To ensure compliance with Federal, State, Board of Regent and University policies, UW Oshkosh has a Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator is the employee designated by the University to coordinate and monitor the University’s compliance efforts. The Title IX Coordinator oversees monitoring of University policy and processes in relation to Title IX law developments, including investigation and disposition of Title IX formal complaints. The Title IX Coordinator ensures training is provided for all Title IX personnel who are conducting any part of the grievance process as well as the greater campus community (employees and students).
Training for Title IX personnel is provided by University and UW System membership in the State University of New York Student Conduct Institute and is posted at the bottom of this page, as required by law.
Anyone may contact the Title IX Coordinator to report sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic or dating violence, stalking, and/or sexual exploitation. After a report is received, the Title IX Coordinator will set up an interview with the individual named as the victim/survivor in the report to get more information, provide support and resources, and go over options; including the option to file a formal complaint.

Title IX Coordinator
The Title IX Coordinator is the employee designated by the University to coordinate and monitor the University’s compliance efforts. The Title IX Coordinator oversees monitoring of University policy and processes in relation to Title IX law developments, including investigation and disposition of Title IX complaints. The Title IX Coordinator also ensures training is provided for all Title IX personnel who are conducting any part of the grievance process, as required by law.
Contacting the Title IX Coordinator to make a report of Title IX sexual misconduct, or submitting a report on-line, will initiate a prompt, compassionate response with supportive and/or protective measures. Making a report is not the same as filing a formal Title IX complaint and does not trigger a formal grievance or conduct procedure. After a report is made, the Title IX Coordinator will set up an interview with the individual named in the report to get more information, provide support and resources, and go over options; including the option to file a formal complaint.
