Title IX

Sexual harassment, including sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking can have serious effects on a student’s school performance, in addition to many other significant effects. Title IX provides that all students have the right to receive an education free from sex discrimination. UTRGV will take immediate action to eliminate such crimes when they occur on campus, prevent recurrence, and address the effects of such crimes, regardless of where they occurred.

Students, faculty, and staff of UTRGV, as well as family, friends, or bystanders, are encouraged to report suspected incidents of sexual harassment, including sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking to the university’s Title IX Coordinator – www.utrgv.edu/Equity. Any faculty or staff member who receives a report of one of these crimes, and who is not bound by professional confidentiality (advocates, counselors, and healthcare providers are confidential resources on campus), is required to report it to the Title IX Coordinator.
