º£½ÇÉçÇø

In response to the º£½ÇÉçÇø systemwide audit conducted by Cozen O’Connor, the º£½ÇÉçÇø’s newly revised Title IX/DHR Annual Report Survey establishes more robust and standardized data collection methods across all 23 universities. The survey results have been made publicly available through an online dashboard to provide transparency and accountability for the º£½ÇÉçÇø’s Title IX/DHR casework. This data will inform Civil Rights programming across the system, identify and track emerging patterns/trends, and highlight opportunities for additional prevention education and training.

Things to keep in mind when reviewing the report: 

• Annual Report Survey Objectives

  The Annual Report Survey methodology is designed to capture as accurately and completely as possible the work of the Title IX and DHR office. The º£½ÇÉçÇø worked closely with its many constituent groups to design a new system that was meaningful and useful to all audiences.

  The º£½ÇÉçÇø placed strong emphasis on education, training, and support around the Annual Report Survey to ensure consistency in the data reported from university campuses. The º£½ÇÉçÇø also issued substantial written guidance and instructions for data reporting, held training sessions, regular drop-in sessions to answer questions, and kept an updated list of Frequently Asked Questions.

  The º£½ÇÉçÇø expects to implement a unified case management system by July 2026, which will make Title IX data more readily available in “real time."

• Report vs. Complaint vs. Investigations

  As part of its emphasis on creating a culture of care, the º£½ÇÉçÇø routinely trains and encourages its students and employees to report any conduct that could fall under the Nondiscrimination Policy. This includes situations in which the impacted person may not want the university to take any action or provide further support.

  Not every report will include conduct that falls under the Nondiscrimination Policy.

  A university experiencing a large number of reports is not necessarily indicative of a problem on campus. It means that the campus community is using the reporting process as intended.

  All reports will result in action, but not all reports will graduate to the level of a complaint.

• Comparing Campuses

  Universities vary dramatically in terms of size, student body, location (urban vs. rural), residential vs. commuter, Greek life, athletics, or situations they have faced (i.e. encampments or protests), etc. and thus the data cannot be compared campus by campus. 
  

  The number of reports received at any given university may appear to be high because of several variables including a strong reporting culture, one specific incident such as an encampment spurred multiple reports, etc.)
