Title IX
What is Title IX?
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
Title IX, Washington State law, and University of Washington policy prohibit discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender expression, pregnant or parenting status, and LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) identity.

Making a report to the police
You have the right to report to the police, or to the University, or to both, or to neither. It is completely up to you. If you choose to report to the police, it is likely that the report will need to be made to the police department that has jurisdiction where the incident(s) occurred. You have the right to have an advocate with you when you make the report and for any subsequent interviews. An advocate can help you determine which police department can take your report. Or, if you prefer, you can call the non-emergency number for your local police department and ask them to help you determine jurisdiction.
