What is Title IX?

UNO is responsible for responding to allegations of sexual misconduct to immediately stop the harassment, remedy its affects, and prevent its recurrence.

Prohibits sex discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal funding
The ban includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and stalking
Applies to students, faculty, staff, and anyone present on campus regardless of sexual orientation, immigration status, gender identity, or disability status
Retaliation for reporting is prohibited by law and covered under Title IX

Reporting Options & Process

If the student does not wish to pursue any action through Title IX, the information will be documented. If the student wishes to pursue a Title IX complaint, the process will be initiated. An individual can engage any combination of these options, to include all three:

Make a formal complaint to the Title IX Coordinator (UNO administrative report)
- This is the method to make an administrative complaint regarding an incident that one wishes to be investigated for Administrative investigation under Student Code of Conduct or Employee Misconduct Policy and Procedures
- This begins an administrative process that could result in university-related sanctions
- Title IX will conduct a preliminary review to determine if the university is obligated to act based on the seriousness of the information
- This cannot and will not result in criminal charges
- Complainants can make an administrative report at the same time as making a police report
Make a report to appropriate law enforcement agency
- This could result in criminal action being taken such as criminal charges
- This cannot and will not result in university-related sanctions and/or actions
Engage with resources such as advocacy and counseling
- This will not result in any criminal charges or university-related sanctions

- The Title IX Office will reach out to the student with resources either via email or a phone call
- Resources include information about advocacy, counseling, reporting to the police, and the Title IX process
