Title IX of the Higher Education
Act at the UW-Whitewater
The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (UWW) is committed to maintaining a
learning and working environment that is free of sexual misconduct. Title IX of
the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX), 20 U.S.C. §§ 1681 et seq.,
and its implementing regulations, 34 C.F.R. Part 106, prohibit discrimination on
the basis of sex in education programs or activities operated by recipients of
Federal financial assistance. Sexual harassment of students, which includes acts
of sexual violence, is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX. A
number of different acts fall into the category of sexual violence, including
rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, and sexual coercion. All such acts of
sexual violence are forms of sexual harassment covered under Title IX. Inquiries
or complains may be addressed to Elizabeth Ogunsola, Title IX Coordinator, Hyer
Hall 330, University of Wisconsin, Whitewater, WI, Phone: 262-472-5669,
