Policies

The Executive Committee, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, unanimously approved the two new policies, including:

• Sex-Based Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation Policy (Title IX Policy)
• Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation Policy (Other than Sex-Based) (Equal Opportunity Policy)

Both policies were approved with an August 1, 2024 effective date.

These Policies apply to all reports of Prohibited Conduct received on or after the effective date of these Policies. If the alleged Prohibited Conduct occurred before the effective date of this Policy, applicable definitions of misconduct in University policies that existed at the time of the conduct will be used. With written notice to the Parties, the Director of Equal Opportunity and Title IX shall have the discretion to apply the processes used under these Policies to respond to and resolve matters pending as of the effective date of this Policy and matters that become known after the effective date of these Policies that may have occurred prior to the effective date of these Policies.
