The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is committed to implementing a policy that is fair, effective, and informed. The Policy on Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Dating and Domestic Violence, and Stalking was shared with the university community on August 15, 2025. The primary purposes of the policy are to:

• Define, eliminate, prevent, and remedy the effects of prohibited conduct
• Identify care, support, and reporting options for students and employees
• Explain the obligations of employees to report prohibited conduct to the university
• Identify the grievance procedures the university will follow to thoroughly, equitably, and promptly investigate and resolve reports of prohibited conduct

The policy is available at titleix.utk.edu, along with additional information on campus procedures, training, and prevention programs related to prohibited conduct. The university will continue to review and update the policy annually to best serve students, faculty, and staff.
