Title IX

The Title IX Working Group is a group of students and administrators fighting gender-based violence and harassment on campus and beyond. We are working to create a safe, equitable space at the law school, and to address the systemic biases that often disadvantage women, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and members of other marginalized groups. In concert with Yale Law School’s active student organizations, we strive to create a community that supports every student.

To further this goal, the Title IX Working Group advises the law school administration on policies and advances efforts to improve campus climate and promote gender justice. We engage locally—fostering inclusive pedagogy and providing resources for survivors of sexual assault or harassment—and globally—researching and weighing in on national conversations about gender violence.

In the past few years, we’ve delivered results, including rolling out a law-school wide survey of sexual harassment and violence, making gender equity a focus point in biannual course evaluations, and creating a peer-lead program to offer support and informal resources to all students. We also meet regularly with faculty and administrators to discuss student concerns.

If you have and questions or concerns, or if you would like to join the Working Group, please contact one of the co-chairs of the Working Group: Grace Judge, Evan Walker-Wells, or Noelle Wyman
