Title IX
Overview

Click here for general Campus Safety information.
Scripps Research strongly encourages prompt reporting of conduct that may violate this policy. Anyone who witnesses, experiences or is otherwise aware of conduct that the individual believes to be in violation of this policy (including retaliation), regardless or when or where the incident occurred, is urged to contact the Title IX Coordinator or a Title IX Deputy Coordinator (see tab for contact information). Any complaint or information regarding a Title IX issue can also be filed by email.
Upon receiving a report of gender-based or sexual misconduct, Scripps Research will take reasonable steps to stop and remedy the effects of the reported misconduct and prevent its reoccurrence. Scripps Research endeavors to provide all parties with appropriate notification and due process, and will reach reasonable conclusions based on the evidence collected. Scripps Research will take appropriate action, including disciplinary measures, when warranted, up to and including termination, dismissal or permanent separation from the institute.
Scripps Research will not tolerate gender-based or sexual misconduct and is committed to educating students, faculty, postdoctoral researchers, staff and the entire institute community about ways to prevent its occurrence. These efforts include regular and ongoing sexual misconduct and bystander intervention education, and training programs for community members. See below for an updated list of upcoming training workshops available to Scripps Research community members.
For members of the community who do not wish details of their report of gender-based or sexual misconduct to be shared with Scripps Research’s Title IX Coordinators, the institute offers on-campus mental health counselors as confidential resources, and access to a wide array of additional off-campus resources.
