UC Santa Cruz Title IX Office 16/17 Data

In 2016/17 the Title IX Office received 360 reports related to gender discrimination and gender based harm. While the office received 389 reports, 29 of these reports were not related to gender discrimination or gender-based harm and were referred to the appropriate campus resource. Many reports received by the Title IX Office include more than one concern or allegation of misconduct. In 8% of the initial reports received, while Title IX did outreach whenever possible, the allegation did not appear to be Title IX related.

It is important to note that in many instances, the Title IX Office receives more than one report about the same incident or affected party from more than one responsible employee. We value these additional reports because they may help us to gather more information. Additionally, they reflect the growing awareness of the campus about reporting responsibilities and the campus commitment to preventing Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment. For the sake of clarity, our office aggregates the various reports received about each unique incident.
