Coordinators
Title IX Coordinator:
Utica College’s Title IX Coordinator is responsible for receiving reports of sex discrimination, including sexual harassment and sexual misconduct. Reports to the Title IX Coordinator may be made at any time (including non-business hours) by phone, e-mail, or regular mail. If a report is determined to meet the definition of a potential Title IX violation, the Title IX Coordinator will be responsible for overseeing the investigatory process and for providing all required disclosures and notifications to the reporting and responding parties. The Title IX Coordinator will also communicate any supportive measures to reporting and responding parties. All of this will be done in a prompt and fair manner.
The Title IX Coordinator works with others at Utica College to make sure policies and procedures are updated and communicated as needed.
