President’s Statement
At SUNY Brockport, we reject sexual violence and gender-based discrimination in all forms. Every member of our community deserves to learn, work, and live in an environment where they feel safe, respected, supported, and that they truly belong.
Our commitment to preventing and addressing sexual violence and gender-based discrimination is grounded in integrity, respect, fairness, and care for one another. Through education, policies, partnerships, and training, we will continue working to build a campus culture free from discrimination and violence.
Our Title IX Office, University Police, Student Conduct, Health Promotion and Prevention Education, and Human Resources share responsibility for leading this work and responding when harm occurs. But they cannot do this work alone. Creating meaningful and lasting change requires all of us to speak up, support one another, and uphold the values we expect at Brockport.
No one person can do everything, but every one of us must do something.
Title IX & SUNY Brockport
Sex discrimination includes sex, sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity. It also includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking. The Title IX Coordinator ensures that the process for addressing complaints of sex discrimination and harassment are handled promptly, fairly, and equitably, with due process. The Title IX Coordinator is not an advocate.
The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for ensuring compliance with Title IX law, the Campus SaVE Act, and New York State Education Law 129-B (“Enough is Enough”), as well as campus policies and procedures on sex discrimination. The Title IX Coordinator’s role is to explain students’ rights, the Title IX Grievance Policy/Procedure, process, connect students to resources, provide supportive measures, and ensure students are not being retaliated against for having made a report of sex discrimination. If a faculty or staff member is involved, the Title IX Coordinator will work with SUNY Brockport’s Affirmative Action Officer to follow the complaint process involving employees.
The Title IX Coordinator also helps develop sex discrimination and sexual violence prevention initiatives, including trainings for students, faculty, and staff.
