Title IX Formal Complaint Form

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. § 1681) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex of students and employees of educational institutions which receive federal financial assistance. When this form has been completed and signed by you, and then signed by the Title IX Coordinator, your complaint has been properly received and noted by the University.

We will provide you with a copy of this form as well as complete information about the Title IX complaint process. If you require emergency assistance, please call security at: (302) 857-7911.
