Title IX

What does it mean when I hear that my Instructor is a Mandated Reporter?

Title IX: Federal law, specifically Title IX, and University policy on Discrimination, Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct (https://sexualmisconduct.uic.edu/policy/) require that all faculty members serve as mandated reporters of incidents involving sexual violence/harassment. Disclosures made to faculty or TAs about sexual or gender-based harassment, sexual assault, rape, dating violence, domestic violence and/or stalking on or off campus are forwarded to the Title IX Coordinator. 

The Coordinator will contact you regarding your rights, the option to request an investigation, interim safety measures, and/or academic accommodations. Participation in any process is always voluntary. 

If you want a confidential place to disclose, contact the Campus Advocacy Network at (312) 413-8206 or can-appointment@uic.edu or the Counseling Center (312) 996-3490 for support. More information: http://sexualmisconduct.uic.edu/
