Susquehanna University is committed to providing our students with an educational journey that is safe and free from sexual misconduct and gender-based violence. When harm happens to any individual within our campus community it creates a ripple effect from those directly involved to their social networks, professional colleagues, academic classes, extracurricular groups and, finally, impacting the entire university. We take our role and responsibility seriously under Title IX by maintaining a fair compliance process, mandated training, educational programs and supportive resources. Our goal is to implement an individual response to misconduct and gender based violence that is respectful, caring and just.

What Is Title IX?
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 requires us to provide a prompt and equitable resolution for all complaints of sexual misconduct and gender based violence. Our response should end the behavior, remedy its effects and prevent its recurrence while providing student with support and resources.
If you witness or hear of an incident of sexual misconduct or gender based violence you should complete the report linked above. This document will be sent to our Title IX coordinator.
Examples might include: sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, non-consensual sexual contact, non-consensual sexual intercourse, relationship violence, stalking, bullying and hazing.
