Report Title IX Violations
Information on Reporting
The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo encourages everyone to report instances of sexual misconduct or gender discrimination to the Title IX Coordinator. If you choose to report to the Coordinator, this is what you can expect: that your confidence will be kept to the extent possible and that the Coordinator will work with you regarding remedies that can assist you with getting through this difficult time, such as schedule changes, counseling, assistance with academic or employment deadlines. Please know that while the Coordinator will do everything possible to respect a reporting party’s wishes regarding investigation, in some cases, an investigation may need to be conducted if the safety of the campus community is in question.
