INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS (OCR)
The U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), is conducting an investigation of our university pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1974 (Title IX), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex by colleges and universities that receive Federal funds from the U.S. Department of Education. Title IX requires universities to investigate alleged incidents of sexual harassment or violence if the university knows, or should know, of the alleged discrimination. For more information about OCR and sexual harassment, you may visit the Department of Education’s website. As part of its investigation, OCR is interested in hearing about the experiences of Florida State University students with respect to sexual harassment or sexual violence, the University’s responsiveness to reports of sexual harassment and violence, and the environment on campus with respect to these issues. If you are a student and would like to participate with OCR in a group interview on Wednesday, October 22 or Thursday, October 23, 2014, please contact Stephanie Pessin at OCR at (404) 974-9343, or by email at [email protected], no later than 5:00pm on October 20. The interviews will tentatively occur at 9:00am, 1:00pm, 4:00pm, and 7:00pm on October 22; and 8:00am and 10:00am on October 23. Location to be determined and announced as the interview dates approach. Please note that these student groups are closed to University staff and to the media. Please note that OCR staff will be available between the group interviews on October 22 and 23 for one-on-one discussions with students, as needed. So please stop by to talk with OCR once a location has been announced. Also, if you would like to share information with OCR outside the context of the on-campus group interviews please contact OCR at the above voicemail or email address. Title IX also prohibits intimidation or retaliation against any person who provides information to OCR as part of an investigation. Please note that although the Freedom of Information Act requires OCR to make its records available to the public upon request, OCR will not release information that would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy, such as the identity of students who share information with OCR in an investigation. The identities of faculty and staff also would be withheld in most circumstances. Please feel free to contact OCR to discuss any questions you have regarding confidentiality. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
