Reviews of the Office of Sexual Harassment Prevention and Policy (OSHPP) conducted by both on-campus and off-campus teams have recommended that the Office of Sexual Harassment Prevention & Policy report directly to the Chancellor=s Office, and that the Director of this office be given the title of Title IX/Sexual Harassment Officer.
