UF seeks to address sexual assault and harassment through proactive and continued education
Earlier this month, UF announced plans to move toward a more proactive, preventive stance to address sexual assault and harassment. UF’s Office of Accessibility and Gender Equity, previously known as the Title IX Office, has moved beyond the basic expectation that the university comply with the Title IX mandate, the federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities, to offer itself as a resource to those who seek to educate themselves about healthy interactions and the avoidance of harm.
