Title IX: We Care

Title IX Brochure

Information Session and Q&A (held on September 25, 2023)

University of Portland is committed to fostering a community in which all members feel respected and safe. Sexual and gender-based harassment, misconduct, and violence have no place at the University, are inconsistent with our mission and values as a Holy Cross university, and will not be tolerated.

UP believes that it is our community’s responsibility to prevent, educate, and effectively respond, and it is a responsibility the University takes very seriously. We recognize that a culture of respect and safety requires that each one of us — students, staff, faculty, and administrators — do our part when something occurs that is not consistent with our community’s values. Further, it is imperative that individuals affected by sexual and gender-based harassment, misconduct, and violence know they are not alone — that our community is here to help.

UP community members are encouraged to report incidents of sexual and gender-based harassment, misconduct, and violence to the Title IX Office. The University will take steps to appropriately address such reports and support affected community members.
