Title IX and Responsible

Employees
The University has designated certain employees as
Responsible Employees. Responsible Employees must contact the Title IX
Coordinators when they witness or otherwise learn about any instance of
gender discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual abuse, sexual assault,
dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking (referred to here as sexual
misconduct) that impacts a member of our community. Most student
employees are not considered Responsible Employees.
However, there are certain student positions that constitute a unique
relationship with other University students, including, for example,
Resident Assistants, student employees in the College Houses, O-Week
student leaders, graduate students with teaching responsibilities, and
student employees in College Admissions. The University has designated
students in these roles as Responsible Employees under Title IX because
they may appear, to other students, to have the authority to respond to and
address instances of sexual misconduct. Students designated as
Responsible Employees are only considered Responsible Employees while
in the role that gives rise to the designation.

Title IX and Responsible

Employees
Reporting an incident to the Title IX Coordinator(s) is private, and
does not mean the person who experienced the incident
somehow loses control of the process. The Title IX Coordinator(s)
informs individuals of options regarding accommodations, interim
measures, and the Universitys disciplinary process. Individuals can
choose not to move forward with the Universitys disciplinary
process, but still receive support services. In some instances the
Title IX Coordinator(s) may need to move forward with an
investigation based on information already received. If this happens
the student will be notified
If you have questions regarding whether your student employment
position makes you a Responsible Employee, please contact Shea
Wolfe (Deputy Title IX Coordinator for Students and Associate Dean of
Students in the University) at swolfe1@uchicago.edu or
773.702.0438.For additional information about Title IX in general,
please visit http://provost.uchicago.edu/titleix.
