Title IX

UWM is committed to providing a safe learning and working environment for every member of our community.

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
Title IX, Education Amendments of 1972 20 U.S.C. §§1681-1688 and its implementing regulation at 34 C.F.R. Part 106

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination.

Sex discrimination includes sexual harassment, sexual violence, sex-based misconduct, relationship violence, discrimination based on pregnancy, and the failure to provide equal opportunities in employment, admissions, or any educational programs or activities.

UWM adheres to all federal, state, and local civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination in employment and education. UWM does not discriminate in its admissions practices, in its employment practices, or in its educational programs or activities on the basis of sex. UWM is required by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to ensure that all of its programs and activities do not discriminate on the basis of sex and in compliance with Title IX, UWM will not tolerate discrimination or harassing conduct that is based on sex, or any other protected status.

UWM prohibits sex-based discrimination and will respond to all reports of sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, and sexual violence (including assault, dating or domestic violence, stalking, and sexual exploitation) with care and support.

UWM’s Title IX Office receives reports of sexual misconduct involving the UWM community, coordinates supportive measures, provides information about response options, and conducts related investigations. All of these duties are guided by a trauma-informed approach that also embraces principles of equity and ensures due process. This website is designed to be a resource for students, faculty, and staff on issues relating to sexual misconduct and sex-based discrimination, including options for getting help, UWM’s policies regarding sexual misconduct, and how to report a concern.
