The Division accomplished this by monitoring compliance with policies and laws that ensure equal opportunity for faculty, staff, and students; addressing the conduct of University employees’ (including students acting in an employee capacity) and third-party affiliates; promoting best practices in hiring; and serving as the University’s Compliance Office for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and other equal opportunity and nondiscrimination laws.

Title IX Annual Reports
Prior to the establishment of the Office of Institutional Equity, the Gender-Based Misconduct Office (GBMO) published reports annually. The Annual Report’s central aim was to engage the University community — students, faculty, administrators, and staff — in creating a climate where all can study, work, and live free from gender-based misconduct, including sexual harassment and violence. This reports include information about many topics, including:
- Ongoing efforts by the University community to enhance resources and prevention and training efforts related to gender-based misconduct prevention and response;
- Information regarding the University’s Gender-Based Misconduct and Interim Title IX Policies and Procedures for Students (“Policies” and “Procedures”); and
- Data from the Gender-Based Misconduct and Interim Title IX process for students during the academic years.
