Title IX Teams
A page within Title IX
The University of Wisconsin La Crosse carries out the objectives of Title IX through a coordinated system of initiatives, programs, and services that collectively protect educational access, advance gender equity, and prevent and respond to sexual harassment, sexual violence, and gender discrimination. In order to live out this objective and ensure compliance with Federal, State, Board of Regent, and University policies, the Office of Title IX and Compliance has identified and created two groups to assist the Title IX Coordinator and Deputy Coordinators: Title IX Advisory Team, and Title IX Investigative Team. The teams and the members that make up each team are described below.

Title IX Advisory Team
This team will address the safety needs of the UWL community as well as gather information and provide regular feedback on observations to the Director of Title IX and Compliance regarding the Title IX process, policies and practices, and the university’s efforts in its implementation of Title IX on its campus. The offices represented on the Title IX Advisory Team shall include, but are not limited to: Student Life, Violence Prevention, Human Resources, University Police, Athletics, University Centers, and representatives from the shared governance groups. While Title IX and Compliance with the law is everyone’s responsibility at the university, this team will have primary responsibility to ensure we are meeting federal, state, regent, and NCAA obligations as it relates to Title IX.
