What is Title IX?
Title IX is a federal civil right that prohibits sex discrimination in education. All members of the university community and visitors have the right to be free from all forms of gender and sex-based discrimination, including sexual violence, sexual harassment, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.
If you've been subjected to gender or sex-based discrimination or misconduct or threatened, UAF has ways to help. Requests for adjustments must be submitted to the Title IX Coordinator[BROKEN LINK]. The following is not an exhaustive list and interim measures can be changed at any time:
Your safety is important to UAF. If you feel unsafe on campus, you can request: an escort, limitation of the respondent’s access to the university, university services and functions, and/or no contact orders.
- Counseling services may be available upon request.
- If you have been sexually assaulted, medical services may be provided. It is important that you take steps to preserve all evidence to assist with the investigation.
- Access to confidential advocacy services and assistance in arranging an initial appointment
- To have the respondent removed from the class
- To re-schedule or be transferred to a different class
- Academic support services such as advising, flexible time, and/or make up work.
- To re-take a course and/or withdraw from a class without penalty.
- If you feel uncomfortable living in a specific location, you may request an alternative
option.
- If you live in the same dorm and/or area as the respondent, you may request that either you or the respondent be relocated.
- You may request changes to your university work schedule or job assignment.
- You may request adjustments specific to these locations
- Additional safety resources/protocols may be requested beyond what is provided at the location
