Civil Rights & Title IX

What is the role of CRIX?

Civil Rights & Title IX is an administrative office of the university. It is not a court or a law enforcement agency. It does not have the power to arrest persons, issue subpoenas, or obtain warrants to search private property.

Some of CRIX's primary roles include: (1) to assist campus community members in understanding the university’s policies and procedures in the areas of discrimination, harassment, affirmative action, and equal employment opportunities, including those policies that implement Title IX; and (2) to process all complaints of discrimination, harassment, and sexual harassment.

CRIX's staff members are impartial administrators — they are neither advocates nor adversaries of the parties and witnesses involved in a particular complaint. CRIX's provides a prompt and equitable process for evaluating and investigating complaints of conduct that falls within the scope of PPM 3010. CRIX's also connects students to a wide range of resources and services.

Contact information for the university's Title IX Coordinator and Deputy Title IX Coordinators can be found on the Title IX homepage.
