The Office of the University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct (UWC) is designed to address allegations of sexual misconduct and is available to students, faculty and staff across the University according to the guidelines described in the UWC’s Procedures. The UWC provides an accessible, representative and trained body to answer inquiries and fairly and expeditiously hear formal complaints of sexual misconduct. The UWC consists of faculty, senior administrators and graduate and professional students drawn from throughout the University.  UWC members are trained in the protocols for maintaining confidentiality and observe strict confidentiality with respect to all information they receive about a case.  

Any person who believes they may have experienced sexual misconduct may also contact the SHARE Center, the Deputy Title IX Coordinators, the Yale Police Department, or the New Haven Police Department.  For detailed information on all of Yale’s services, including resources, filing an informal complaint, and mechanisms for victims of sexual misconduct, please consult The Title IX at Yale website.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects people from sex discrimination in educational programs and activities at institutions that receive federal financial assistance.
