Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination in education programs and activities at universities receiving federal financial assistance. Sex discrimination includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Indiana Wesleyan University will not tolerate such discrimination.
Indiana Wesleyan University does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of sex against students or applicants for admission, or employees or applicants for employment, or in the administration of its policies or in any aspect of its operations. The University will respond to reported violations of Title IX by conducting prompt, thorough, and equitable investigations, and providing supportive measures for those involved.
To facilitate this process, IWU has a trained Title IX team comprised of a Title IX Coordinator, Deputy Title IX Coordinators, Investigators, Decision-Makers, Advisors, and Informal Resolution Facilitators to ensure compliance with the regulations, and investigation of sex-based allegations from students, staff, and faculty.
The U.S. Department of Education released new Title IX regulations effective August 1, 2024. On June 17, 2024, a federal district judge issued an injunction preventing the new regulations from going into effect in multiple states including Indiana, Ohio & Kentucky. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the injunction on July 17, 2024. The injunction means IWU is prohibited from implementing any of the new regulations. As a result, IWU’s Title IX Policy will continue reflecting the regulations issued in 2020 pending further action by the courts.
These individuals may be contacted for support on a confidential basis; please note that under state law, all individuals, including these listed below, are required to report suspected or actual abuse and neglect of individuals under 18 years or age.
In compliance with the public inspection requirements set forth in Title IX, Indiana Wesleyan University provides training to its Title IX Coordinators, Investigators, Decision Makers, and Informal Resolution Facilitators.
