Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (commonly known as "Title IX") is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs and activities. Sex discrimination includes sexual harassment, and sexual and relationship violence. When the University receives a complaint that may implicate Title IX, it will respond to the complaint in a prompt and equitable manner. Every complaint is based on its own facts and circumstances, which can impact the course of response. DePaul University prohibits retaliation against any person, including complainants, referred students, and witnesses exercising their rights and/or responsibilities in good faith pursuant to Title IX and related University policies.
The Director of Gender Equity serves as DePaul University’s Title IX coordinator. The Director of Gender Equity/Title IX coordinator’s office is located in Suite 307 of the Lincoln Park Student Center (2250 N. Sheffield Ave). Please call (312-362-8970) or email (titleixcoordinator@depaul.edu) to schedule a meeting.
As appropriate, Title IX Coordinator works with other offices to address Title IX complaints and other Title IX compliance issues. These offices include Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, Human Resources, Athletics, Compliance and Risk Management, Enrollment Management and Marketing, and others as appropriate.
