Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”), 20 U.S.C. Sec. 1681, et seq., and the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. In compliance with this federal policy, Warner Pacific University does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its education programs.
Students wanting to file a complaint of discriminatory harassment and/or misconduct should contact the Title IX Coordinator or one of the Deputy Title IX Coordinators. The Title IX Coordinator will coordinate the University’s response to reports of all discriminatory misconduct. This response includes:
Informing students of available supportive measures, including medical and emotional support options.
Assisting all parties involved in understanding their rights and responsibilities.
Developing remedial actions to facilitate support and safety for the students involved. Considerations include housing accommodations, no contact requirements, no trespass restrictions, and academic accommodations. In Title IX cases, remedial actions will be non-punitive of the respondent prior to a finding of responsibility.
Providing information to students about making reports to local law enforcement. Overseeing the Discriminatory Harassment and Misconduct Process and any appeal.
