The University of Maine is committed to preventing and intervening in all forms of gender discrimination which includes sexual assault and sexual harassment, and can also include relationship abuse and stalking. We strongly urge students who have been impacted by gender discrimination to take action, including using the support services identified and/or pursuing criminal and student conduct action.

The University strongly encourages students to seek out the assistance of the support services listed below. These resources can work to assist with accommodations such as the following:

  • No Contact Directive

  • Academic Accommodations

  • Change in Living Arrangements

  • Access to Health & Counseling Services

  • Safety Escorts & Safety Planning

Privacy will be respected to the fullest extent possible. Requests for confidentiality may limit the University’s ability to respond to a report.

Many University employees are required by law to report all complaints of gender discrimination to the Deputy Title IX Coordinator even when the complainant requests no action to be taken. When an incident is reported the University will investigate the complaint and take necessary action to protect the individual and the community.

We have a wealth of resources right here on campus and in the surrounding communities.  Most resources are available at no cost.  Please see below to find out about the resources available to you and those you know.
