  • Discrimination Reporting and Response

    The Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer/Title IX coordinator, Elise Glenn, directs efforts regarding reports and responses to incidents of discrimination and identity-based bias. Through collaboration with the Office of Human Resources, University Police, and the divisions of Student Affairs and Academic Affairs, she consults with faculty, administrators, students, and university affiliates on issues of concern. Please refer to IUP’s Statement of Non-Discrimination.

    Social Equity and Title IX Office personnel meet with reporting students and employees to assess issues, incidents, and questions regarding discrimination, bias, harassment, and/or incivility. A formal or informal process may be used to resolve complaints.

    Submit an Incident of Concern for online reporting of non-emergency issues involving identity-based bias or discrimination, sexual misconduct, student conduct, or other issues of concern.
