The Office of Equity (Title IX) strives to create an environment free from discrimination and sexual misconduct. The University prohibits discrimination based on a protected class and sexual misconduct (including quid pro quo, hostile environment, sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking).

Learn more about how the Office of Equity addresses discrimination.

Reporting

Contact the Title IX Coordinator with any concerns about, observations of, or experiences with discrimination or sexual misconduct. Reporting an incident allows the Office of Equity to reach out and provide information about supportive measures, resources, reporting options, and information regarding a formal investigation. University policy prohibits retaliation against individuals who submit an incident report or participate in an Office of Equity investigation (USU Policy #339).

Support Services and Academic Assistance

The Office of Equity provides supportive measures to help students stay in school and to address issues related to safety, even if an individual does not move forward with a formal investigation. These measures can include referrals to counseling and support resources, information related to academic accommodations, no contact orders, and changes in housing or work schedules, as well as other supportive measures, as needed.

More information about campus resources for preventing, responding to, and reporting sexual violence is available at usu.edu/sexual-assault.
