Notice of the Title IX Coordinator
As a community of educators and learners, Rider University is committed to fostering an environment dedicated to learning and mutual respect as reflected in the University’s mission, Statement of Community Values and Anti-Harassment and Non-Discrimination Policy. All students, faculty, administrators and staff at the University have the right to expect an environment that allows them to enjoy the full benefits of their work or learning experience. The University, therefore, does not condone violations of its Anti-Harassment and Non-Discrimination Policy and treats all allegations about violations seriously. As outlined in the Anti-Harassment and Non-Discrimination Policy, the University prohibits all forms of discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking, in compliance with Title IX and other applicable state and federal law.
Rider University is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer. No one will be denied employment at, admission to, or the opportunity to participate in educational programs and activities at the University on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, physical or mental disability (including perceived disability), gender, sex, age, pregnancy, marital or familial status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, citizenship status, ethnicity, residence, veteran or military status, domestic violence victim status or status as a member of any other protected class under federal or state law. The University does not discriminate on the basis of any of the aforementioned protected bases in the recruitment and admission of students; the recruitment and employment of faculty, administrators and staff; and the operation of any of its programs and activities.
Rider’s Anti-Harassment and Non-Discrimination Policy
The University’s Anti-Harassment and Non-Discrimination Policy governs the treatment of harassment and discrimination cases at Rider University. The Policy applies to harassment and discrimination that occurs on University premises, at University sponsored activities, and off-campus conduct that adversely affects the University community or the pursuit of its objectives, including, but not limited to, any off-campus conduct that constitutes a violation of any law or municipal ordinance or any off-campus conduct that poses a threat to the health, safety or welfare of any members of the University community or any residents of neighboring communities. The Policy applies to all students and student organizations, employees, and to third-parties, including guests, visitors, volunteers and contractors, on University premises or at University sponsored activities.
Rider’s Office of Title IX and Equal Opportunity Compliance is responsible for enforcing the Policy.
Anyone may report discriminatory harassment, sexual harassment, or sexual violence (whether or not the person reporting is the person alleged to have experienced the conduct), in person, by email, or by phone using the contact information listed below for the Title IX Coordinator or Director of Title IX and Equal Opportunity Compliance. A report may also be made at any time (including during non-business hours) through Rider’s Report and Support webpage, by emailing [email protected] or via the contact information below.
