Dear ºÚÁϺÚÀúÊ· community,

As outlined in former Acting President Michelle Rizk’s on July 30, 2020, the Board of Regents approved the UA Sex- and Gender-Based Policy. In addition, Acting President Rizk approved the corresponding university regulation to ensure UA is compliant with the new federal Title IX law issued by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. These regulations go into effect on Aug. 14, 2020.

While the new guidelines set forth by the Department of Education require universities across the country to modify how we handle sex and gender-based discrimination on our campuses, this does not change ºÚÁϺÚÀúʷ’s commitment to ending this kind of behavior altogether.

Some actions ºÚÁϺÚÀúÊ· is taking to create a culture of respect, diversity, inclusion and caring include:
  • Strategic planning efforts addressing social justice issues, systems, curriculum, and broadened prevention and training programs
  • Strengthened collaborations with community partners such as the
  • Providing supportive measures, confidential resources and anonymous reporting options.
  • Annual training starting Sept. 1 for students, employees and volunteers
  • Prevention, education and wellness programs hosted by
  • A central site called to locate programs and events at ºÚÁϺÚÀúÊ·
  • on rights when participating in off-campus programs and research activities
  • A virtual forum for students and employees this fall
ºÚÁϺÚÀúÊ· is committed to the safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff and the communities we serve. For more information, visit ºÚÁϺÚÀúʷ’s Title IX website.
