Title IX

UConn and the UConn School of Law are committed to compliance with Title IX, a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex (or gender) against employees and students. Every person at the UConn School of Law is entitled to a campus environment free from all forms of sexual harassment, sexual violence, relationship violence and stalking.

The University maintains a website at titleix.uconn.edu that describes the resources available to all students, faculty and staff; the process of filing a report to the University under Title IX; and the obligations of most employees to advise the Office of Institutional Equity about incidents of sexual assault, intimate partner violence or stalking. Confidential employees (i.e., mental health counselors), are entitled to have privileged communications and are not obligated, in most cases, to report. UConn Law students, faculty and staff are encouraged to review the University's resources.

You can seek support whether you choose to file a formal report or not. Most University and School of Law employees are required to report incidents of sexual harassment, sexual violence, relationship violence and stalking to the University's Office of Institutional Equity. You are not required to participate in any resulting investigation. The University and the School of Law also offer confidential support services from staff who are not required to report incidents.
