TITLE IX/VAWA COMPLIANCE ///
The USF Title IX team provides support to anyone affected by sex-based discrimination or violence, including: • sexual harassment
• sexual violence
• relationship violence
• stalking
• discrimination based on pregnancy
We connect Bulls to resources, provide supportive measures, respond to reports, conduct investigations, coordinate resolutions, and conduct campus-wide Title IX and VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) training.
Title IX addresses sex-based discrimination and sexual harassment that may deny a person access to educational benefits and opportunities. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) provides rights to victims, requires USF to have a process to
address complaints, and requires USF to provide a variety of programs for students and staff which aim to prevent sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking.
You can report sex-based discrimination or harassment by notifying a Responsible Employee, emailing the Title IX Coordinator or Title IX office, mailing your report to the Title IX office, or submitting the online report form at: usf.edu/title-ix/fileareport.aspx
