Title IX Liaisons

Title IX Liaisons

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. It reads no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

The University is committed to provide an educational and working environment for its students, faculty, and staff that is free from sex and gender discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual misconduct, interpersonal violence (including domestic violence and dating violence), and stalking. The University encourages individuals to promptly report incidents to the university.

The University encourages those who believe that they may have been subjected to sex discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct by faculty, staff, students, visitors, or contractors to report it immediately to Krista Anderson, krista.anderson@austin.utexas.edu, Associate Vice-President, Title IX Coordinator, at (512) 471-0419. Persons may also report such conduct to Doug Garrard, Title IX Deputy for Students, Office of the Dean of Students, at (512) 471-5017, garrardd@austin.utexas.edu. They may also make a report without sharing their names, thus utilizing an anonymous report.

Title IX Liaisons are a resource to our students, staff, and faculty regarding any issues pertaining to Title IX or UT Austin’s policy on the Prohibition of Sexual Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Sexual Misconduct, Interpersonal Violence, and Stalking (HOP 3-3031). Title IX Liaisons will:

• Be visible and accessible to students and employees.
• Be a resource to students and employees to explain related policies, processes, and support services.
• Coordinate with the Title IX Office and other campus partners to organize education and professional development around sexual misconduct for employees and students.
