The University of Tennessee Southern is committed to creating and maintaining a safe and nondiscriminatory learning, living, and working environment. This commitment includes an environment free from Sexual Harassment (including Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking), Sexual Exploitation, and Retaliation (collectively, “Prohibited Conduct”).

Prohibited Conduct will not be tolerated and will be grounds for disciplinary action, including permanent dismissal from the university. We strongly encourage those who have experienced Prohibited Conduct to promptly report the incident to the Office of Title IX.

Reporting an incident to the university does not obligate you to pursue university discipline or criminal prosecution. Reporting an incident to the university ensures you can access supportive measures and resources. Contact information for reporting options and confidential resources can be found on the Title IX website.

In compliance with Tennessee law, UT Southern will inform parents or guardians when any student under 21 is found responsible for violating any policy governing the use, possession, and/or distribution of alcohol or illegal drugs.

The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act requires the university to distribute a notice to all employees and students with information about our drug and alcohol prevention efforts.

UT Southern prohibits the unlawful use, manufacture, possession, distribution, or dispensing of drugs and alcohol on university property. This unlawful use is also prohibited during university activities. Violation of this policy is grounds for disciplinary action and legal prosecution.

Information regarding the standards of conduct prohibiting drug and alcohol use and possible sanctions is available in the Student Code of Conduct.

Information regarding the health risks associated with using illicit drugs and alcohol abuse can be found through our University Clinic. Programs and resources to address drug or alcohol counseling, recovery, treatment, or rehabilitation can also be found through our University Clinic.

Divisive Concepts Charter 818 can be found here.

Adherence to any one worldview is not a prerequisite to success at UT Southern (see Viewpoint Diversity), and our efforts in the areas of access and engagement are always aimed at helping the students, faculty, and staff at UT Southern succeed.

University accreditation and consumer information (including student achievement, completion rates, diversity information, etc.) are available here.
