Title IX: Whitworth University faculty and staff members are committed to the well-being of each student. It is common for students to discuss non-course-related issues with their advisors, faculty or staff and, when possible, the Whitworth employee will keep such conversations strictly confidential. However, because federal law views all Whitworth faculty and staff members as mandated reporters of any incidents of sexual misconduct, if a student informs a Whitworth employee of an issue of sexual harassment, sexual assault or discrimination, the employee is required by federal law to bring it to the attention of the Title IX coordinator.

The Title IX coordinator (titleixcoordinator@whitworth.edu | 509.777.4536) will make sure the student is aware of all of the options and resources provided to them by Whitworth University policies and under the law.

There are a few Whitworth employees that federal law does not view as mandatory reporters, with whom a student could speak without the conversation being reported to the Title IX coordinator. These include Whitworth counselors, the health center and chaplains. If you have any concerns that you would like to discuss confidentially with a person who is not a mandatory reporter, please contact the Whitworth Counseling Center (509.777.4450) or the chapel (509.777.4345).
