Title IX Coordinators and Team Members

The Simmons Title IX team includes community members trained to support students, faculty, and staff impacted by sex discrimination. These individuals can help provide support and connect you with resources. In particular, the Title IX Coordinator and Deputy Title IX Coordinators, working with other members of the Title IX Team, will ensure a timely, effective, impartial, and consistent response to all reports of sex discrimination.

The Title IX Coordinator has primary responsibility for overseeing the University's Title IX compliance program. This includes overseeing the University's response to reports of conduct that could trigger the Simmons Sex Discrimination Policy. The Title IX Coordinator is able to meet with any individual seeking information about the University's policy or looking to get connected with resources. The Title IX Team, including any Deputy Title IX Coordinators, and/or other qualified members of the Simmons community, will assist, as necessary, with these efforts. Anywhere the Title IX Coordinator is listed as a designated point of contact for any role in the Sex Discrimination Policy, they may designate a Deputy Title IX Coordinator or other qualified member of the Simmons community to assume the role at issue, as necessary and appropriate.
