Title IX – Sexual Misconduct Resources

We are committed to creating an atmosphere of equality, free of all forms of discrimination and harassment.

What is Title IX?

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 states: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."

Our Commitment

Here at Widener, we are dedicated to upholding Title IX and fostering an environment that provides equal learning opportunities for all of our students.

We are also committed to creating and sustaining a safe environment for all students and employees. Our Equal Opportunity, Harassment, and Nondiscrimination Policy (EOHN) prohibits all forms of sexual misconduct and assault on campus. Upon receiving a report of misconduct, we will address the matter as quickly and fairly as possible. Please review the Statement of Party Rights to learn about the rights, accommodations, and protective measures available to individuals involved in the resolution process as outlined in the EOHN Policy.

Title IX Resources

Private Reporting 

These reporting resources are required to report all known details to the Title IX Coordinator, including names, dates, times, and locations. Information contained in the report is only shared on a need-to-know basis with those who are directly involved in providing supportive or protective services, or those involved with addressing the incident:

  • Title IX Coordinator 
  • You can report directly to the Title IX Coordinator by using the Discrimination, Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct Reporting Form 
    • The reporting form is the preferred and primary method for receiving reports. Using this form ensures that the Title IX Coordinator has the information necessary to make informed decisions regarding the health and safety of impacted individuals and our Widener Community. However, if for some reason you are unable to submit the report using the reporting form above, please email TitleIX@widener.edu  or report to Campus Safety.
