University of Oregon is looking to pay a new position up to $120,000 per year to combat sexual assault.
The assistant vice president for campus sexual assault and Title IX coordinator would start in July, according to a job posting on jobs.uoregon.edu.
Title IX is a civil rights law that bans discrimination based on gender at all schools that receive federal funding. This position will respond to all sexual harassment — sexual assault, sex-based bullying and stalking, and intimate partner violence. The position will coordinate effective communication between different parties in the university.
But is this position too much for one person to do? UO professor Carol Stabile thinks so, according to The Register-Guard. Stabile led the Task Force to Prevent Sexual Assault last year, which recommended that UO create an independent office to deal with these issues.
The university is looking for someone with a master’s degree and previous experience as a Title IX officer.
