Title IX

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.

As an equal opportunity educational institution and employer, Arcadia University is committed to providing learning, living and working environments that are free from discrimination on the basis of sex for students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors. The University provides guidance for students, faculty and staff according to Arcadia’s Interim Policy Prohibiting Discrimination and Harassment.

The Director of OECR/Title IX Coordinator, Deputy Title IX Coordinators, Dean of Students, Director of Public Safety and Assistant Vice President for Human Resources are available to assist you and help review your options for immediate assistance, next steps, and resources. The Title IX Team will ensure that they take all reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure the safety and well being of individuals and the community. We encourage any individual with concerns or questions to seek the supports and resources within the Arcadia and greater community.

The Director of OECR/Title IX Coordinator is responsible for overall Title IX compliance, supporting the Deputy Title IX Coordinators, ensuring prompt and equitable resolutions, overseeing a centralized process for all sexual misconduct allegations on campus, tracking and monitoring reports of sexual misconduct and evaluating for patterns or systemic issues, and coordinating training, education and prevention efforts.
