Amherst College is committed to providing an environment free from discrimination and harassment based upon sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, and the Civil Rights and Title IX Office plays a critical role in that process. We invite all members of the campus community to work with us to foster a culture of safety and respect at Amherst.

What do we do?

Discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct can have a significant impact on a person's well-being and college or employment experience. Our role is to receive, respond to, evaluate, and assess all reports with empathy and care using a people-first, care-grounded framework. Throughout our process, we maintain a commitment to upholding privacy and neutrality while empowering individuals to take agency in their own lives. We are here to support you during these difficult times by providing you with the tools, knowledge, and resources you need to make the best decisions for you.

Our vision is a campus where everyone is supported in their well-being, and where individual and community needs are met with equity, empathy, and shared learning.
