If you are a victim or survivor of discrimination or harassment at the University of North Florida, reporting is a way to access support and explore your options. This process allows you to speak with staff without automatically launching an investigation or notifying the alleged individual.

The University of North Florida does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the University's education programs and activities, and the University is required by Title IX and its implementing federal regulations to not discriminate on that basis. The requirement not to discriminate also extends to admissions and employment. Inquiries about the application of Title IX and its implementing federal regulations may be referred to the University's Title IX Coordinator, the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights for the U.S. Department of Education, or both.
To ensure compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. Sec. 1681, et seq., and subsequent regulations, and its implementation of regulation at 34 C.F.R. Part 106, the President of the University has authorized the Title IX Coordinator as the primary contact. She is responsible for developing, adopting and/or assuring the dissemination of the University's nondiscrimination policy and for making the policy available to the University community. In addition, the Senior Associate Director of Athletics/Senior Women's Administrator will make the policy available to student-athletes as required to be in compliance with NCAA regulations. The Office of Human Resources distributes the policy to faculty, staff, the University community and the public.
