MU Reports Increase in Number of People Accused of Title IX Violations

More people were accused of discrimination and harassment at MU last year than during the 2016-17 school year, according to data released Wednesday by the campus Office for Civil Rights & Title IX.

In 2017-18, the office received 750 reports, including 942 individual violations of MU's anti-discrimination policy. In 2016-17, there were 693 reports totaling 981 violations.

The number of possible violations is higher than the total number of reports because a single person could have committed multiple violations of MU's anti-discrimination policy during the same incident.
