Please be aware that there have been changes to IUP's processes and policies regarding sexual misconduct. IUP continues to be committed to maintaining a learning and work environment that is free from all forms of sexual discrimination or sexual misconduct, and processes that are fair to all parties involved. Pursuant to new federal regulations that became effective in August 2020, IUP has updated its Sexual Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct Policy and related resources.
Please take a few minutes to view “IUP Student Overview Video: Civil Rights, Title IX, and Sexual Misconduct” and download (pdf) the 2020-21 Where to Turn for Help listing.
The new regulations require that we label employees and university-related personnel as Mandated Reporters for both reporting obligations:
- You must report suspected child abuse to the state through Childline, and
- You must report actual or suspected sexual discrimination or sexual misconduct to the Title IX Coordinator or deputies.
The annual required employee training will be updated and assigned in the coming month and will address the policy changes.
IUP takes concerns and complaints very seriously. An Incident of Concern Online Reporting System is accessible to all students and employees at the bottom of every IUP web page. If you have any concerns for the immediate safety of yourself or others, call 911 or contact University Police at 724-357-2141.
Elise Glenn, your Title IX coordinator, and the staff at the Counseling Center and Haven Project are available to offer support and information, or to direct you to the office or resource that can provide help. Confidential services can be provided. Our commitment to supporting students and employees is unchanged. If you have concerns, let us help.
