Contacts and resources for reporting sexual harassment
Several Western Michigan University offices may be contacted when a student, employee or visitor experiences unwelcome sexual conduct. The following offices and designated contact persons provide information, resources and assistance for sexual harassment-related concerns, ranging from one-time incidents to pervasive behavior. Every office is responsible for taking prompt and appropriate action to complaints of sexual harassment involving students, faculty, staff and others on campus, including visitors. Every office takes each allegation seriously and ensures that the situation is properly investigated.
Title IX coordinator
The University has a Title IX coordinator who is responsible for monitoring and overseeing the University’s compliance with Title IX provisions, including:
- Conducting investigations of sexual harassment complaints involving all members (student, faculty, staff, administrators, visitors and third parties) of the campus community.
- The administration and communication of the complaint and grievance procedures.
- Coordination and planning of outreach and education or training to increase awareness and prevention of sexual harassment throughout the campus community.
