Title IX and other federal and state laws collectively prohibit discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender expression, pregnant or parenting status, and LGBTQ identity. These laws impose legal requirements and protections that serve as a foundation from which UW has created policies, practices, services, and programs that work in concert to advance equity for students, staff, and faculty of all identities. 

Types of Complaints / Topics Addressed

Title IX and other federal and state laws collectively prohibit discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender expression, pregnancy and related conditions, and LGBTQ identity. These laws impose legal requirements and protections that serve as a foundation from which UW has created policies, practices, services, and programs that work in concert to advance equity for students, staff, and faculty of all identities. 

Disclaimers

Retaliation protection:
University of Washington policy prohibits retaliation against people who bring a complaint or participate in the complaint process. An employee who engages in retaliatory conduct is subject to appropriate corrective action, including dismissal. 

Exception to confidentiality:
Any information shared in emails, tools, or reports may be subject to public records requests or released under federal and state law. 

Process

What information you need to submit, what happens after

You can make a title IX report online at https://www.washington.edu/titleix/report/. When the Title IX Office receives a report, a Title IX case manager will:  

• Review the details of the situation and assess immediate safety concerns.  
• Identify what options may be available or necessary to respond to a report. 
• Provide information on resolution options, including formal complaints. 
• Coordinate supportive measures. 
• Offer referrals to additional resources. 

The case manager will actively work with individuals to identify the best way to address the Title IX-related concern. Making a report does not automatically initiate an investigation or require an impacted individual to respond to an outreach from the Title IX Office. We encourage reports to be submitted as soon as possible. The University reserves the right to investigate or otherwise address any report, regardless of when it is made, based on concern for the safety or well-being of the University community.
