Policies and Compliance

Title IX, Title VII, VAWA, Illinois state law, and Bradley University policies collectively prohibit discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender expression, pregnant or parenting status, and LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) identity. Sexual assault, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, intimate partner violence, and stalking are among the forms of discrimination Bradley University policy prohibits. Retaliation for raising concerns about any of these behaviors is also prohibited.

Title IX and Bradley University policies apply to and protect students, staff, faculty, and other academic personnel at locations and in all programs and activities affiliated with the University. Visitors are expected to follow the conduct expectations of Bradley University community members and may report violations of policies by Bradley University community members.
