The Office of Student Affairs Compliance & Title IX strives to provide a campus environment free from all forms of sexual misconduct. Our collaborative approach primarily focuses on addressing reported misconduct and providing education to the Rutgers community.
Addressing Misconduct: We maintain a commitment to facilitating equitable responses and resolutions to all reported incidents of sexual harassment, sexual violence, relationship violence, stalking, and related misconduct among students.
Providing Education: We promote awareness of Title IX policies and University resources by offering trainings, education, and other outreach efforts to the Rutgers community.
