Statement of Title IX Compliance

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) prohibits discrimination based on gender in educational programs which receive federal financial assistance. Areas of the institution where Title IX may have application include athletics, student recruitment and admissions, financial aid, scholarships, course offerings and access, employment, and housing and residential services. Title IX also protects students and employees, both male and female, from unlawful sexual harassment in school programs and activities. Willamette has established a committee of Title IX Coordinators to respond to concerns in these areas. Questions related to this policy can be directed to the Vice President and Executive Assistant to the President, who serves as chair of this committee and is the University’s central Title IX Coordinator.

For appeals related to determinations made under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), contact:

Vice President and Executive Assistant to the President
