Quinnipiac students face an unsupportive, frustrating process when they file a Title IX report. Quinnipiac University has continuously failed to fix these systemic errors. Students recently came forward voicing their experiences with a backlogged system, poor communication from staff, and inadequate resolutions.

STAT QU is a group of students demanding change from Quinnipiac University. We demand Speed, Transparency, Accountability, and Training. On Tuesday, April 21st, we will be hosting a peaceful demonstration. Every QU student is welcome. Show your support by signing this petition.

Our demands can be summed up through S.T.A.T.

Speed: Students are currently waiting months for a Title IX  hearing. This is unacceptable. The Title IX office is severely overloaded and understaffed. Both the Title IX office and Care Team, which were established to support students through the extremely emotional process of filing reports, have only 2-3 full-time staff members.  Quinnipiac University must hire more employees. 

Transparency: We demand that Quinnipiac University release the number of employees with multiple Title IX reports. No professor or faculty member should be working on campus if they have MULTIPLE Title IX reports filed against them. The location of the Title IX office must be visible on the Quinnipiac University website, and the building must have better signage.

Accountability: The Quinnipiac student body deserves a University that protects them, and we would like to see their plan to do so. We demand that faculty with multiple reports are subject to immediate investigation and termination upon findings of repeated misconduct. For Title IX hearings, students filing a report should have access to a trained advocate from the future Office of Victim Advocacy. 

Training: All CARE, Title IX, and Public Safety employees must go through increased training to ensure victims of any violent crime on campus receive a trauma-sensitive response.
