Lesley University Title IX Information
Title IX Incident Reporting
The Equal Opportunity and Title IX Office at Lesley is responsible for addressing and responding to reports of discrimination and harassment, including sexual misconduct and sexual violence, to help create a campus where all members of our community have access to the University. In light of this mission, we work to promote equal opportunity and inclusion for all individuals.
Our Discrimination, Harassment, and Sexual Violence Policy prohibits discrimination and harassment, including sexual misconduct and sexual violence, and our Complaint Resolution Procedure outlines the University’s processes for responding to reports of discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct. These policies address the University’s aim to provide an environment that is free of discrimination and harassment on the basis of protected categories, including sexual harassment and sexual violence. Discrimination and harassment undermine the basic principles of the Lesley community and are strictly prohibited.

EADA Reporting:
The Lesley University Athletic Department submits its Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA) report to the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Federal Student Aid annually. The Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act requires co-educational institutions of postsecondary education that participate in a Title IV, federal student financial assistance program, and have an intercollegiate athletic program, to prepare an annual report to the Department of Education on athletic participation, staffing, and revenues and expenses, by men's and women's teams. The Department uses this information in preparing its required report to the Congress on gender equity in intercollegiate athletics. Lesley's EADA report can be accessed online via the U.S. Department of Education website: Equity in Athletics Data Analysis.
