It will also include a Title VI Coordinator, who will oversee Title VI compliance and support broader civil rights initiatives. This role reflects the University’s ongoing commitment to equitable access to education and employment, and to preventing and addressing discrimination and harassment. More information on the newly consolidated Civil Rights Compliance Office will be available at that time.
