Title IX


File a Maxient Report


Dominican University is committed to ensuring a just and humane campus where all community members have the capacity to thrive. When the behavior of some community members challenges the well-being of others, the Title IX team determines, to the extent possible, whether the University’s policies related to Title IX and sex-based discrimination were violated. The University takes these reports seriously and is committed to following up on reports of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and discrimination.
 

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination and harassment on the basis of sex in educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance. Title IX protects students, faculty and staff, and prohibits gender-based and sexual misconduct.

If you or someone else is in danger, please contact 911.
