Title IX (Sexual Misconduct)

Title IX Logo

Welcome to Wake Forest University’s Title IX Office website. Our office is responsible for oversight and coordination of the University’s Title IX compliance efforts, including:

The Title IX Office also extensively collaborates with other University offices, such as the Safe Office, the Office of the Dean of Students, and the Office of Wellbeing, to offer awareness campaigns and prevention programs that seek to promote positive and healthy behaviors that foster healthy, mutually respectful relationships, encourage safe bystander intervention, and seek to change behavior and social norms in healthy and safe directions.

Section 504/ADA (Disability Grievances)

In accordance with the provisions of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the University strives to assure not only nondiscrimination but full participation of individuals with disabilities in all aspects of University life. The Learning Assistance Center & Disability Services (LAC-DS) coordinates accommodations for students with disabilities, and Human Resources coordinates accommodations for employees with disabilities. The staff in the Title IX Office are responsible for managing allegations of disability discrimination among students, staff, and faculty. The Interim Title IX Coordinator serves as the University’s Section 504/ADA Coordinator.

Any member of the Wake Forest University community who believes that they have been excluded from any educational program or service on the basis of a disability should contact the Section 504/ADA Coordinator.
