Systemwide Title IX Office
We support the university’s commitment to provide a safe and discrimination-free learning and working environment.
The Systemwide Title IX office provides direction and support for the Title IX offices at the university’s 10 campuses and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), as well as the Office of the President. We assist in implementing systemwide initiatives and best practices in harassment prevention and response. We also provide investigative support and develop and deliver education and training to Title IX offices and other university partners involved in preventing and responding to sexual harassment and sexual violence. Title IX protects all persons in the US. This includes International students and Undocumented students.
