  University of Illinois System statement regarding WUIS request for Title IX exemption

  Nov 14, 2019 9:15 am

Recently, we received a well-intentioned request from WUIS to exempt its staff from Title IX-mandated reporting requirements involving sexual misconduct. But the request is in potential conflict with another core principle we value – the safety of our campuses, our students, and our faculty and staff.
