10.16 Harvard University Title IX Resource Coordinators

HMS is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy educational and work environment in which no member of the Harvard community is, on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity, excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in any University program or activity.

Please see Harvard’s Interim Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy and Interim Other Sexual Misconduct Policy for additional information. The procedures for handling complaints are available on the Office for Community Support, Non-Discrimination, Rights and Responsibilities website.

HMS Title IX Resource Coordinators

Title IX Resource Coordinators (TIXRCs) have specialized experience in responding to disclosures of sexual and gender-based harassment and serve in a neutral role to support all members of the Harvard community. They are aware that your concerns may be of a sensitive nature and will offer support and resources to help you continue your work or studies while maintaining your privacy.

Contacting your local TIXRC is not the same as filing a formal complaint and does not “trigger” a formal process. When you reach out to an HMS TIXRC, you are free to share as much or as little information as you feel comfortable.
