A Note on the Calling
The Title IX Coordinator holds a role built on trust: the trust of students and others who need a fair and caring process, of families who need clear answers, and of a campus community that needs confidence its policies are applied consistently. It is quieter work than some in Student Life, carried out largely behind the scenes, but it shapes whether people experience the university's response as fair, supportive, and worthy of trust. For someone grounded in fairness, discretion, and the redemptive philosophy of Adventist education, it is meaningful work with a direct hand in the integrity of the campus community.

Technical competencies
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce clear policy documents, notices, and correspondence, along with strong organizational and records-management skills for case tracking.
Sound judgment and discretion in handling sensitive, confidential matters, with the ability to manage a caseload within a part-time schedule and respond promptly to time-sensitive compliance deadlines.
Interpersonal interactions
The Coordinator communicates effectively with administrators, colleagues, faculty, staff, students, parents, and members of the public, and demonstrates competence in fair, impartial case management and the coordination of Title IX processes.
Equally important is the capacity to uphold policy and procedural fairness in matters that carry significant consequences for students, exercising sound judgment while maintaining the trust and confidence of all parties involved in a proceeding. Not every circumstance fits neatly within established expectations, and the Coordinator exercises principled judgment in the gray areas without compromising the integrity of the system as a whole. This is especially significant in work with young adults who, by the very nature of their developmental stage, seek rationale for expectations while navigating the tension between autonomy and the need for care.
Physical demands
The Coordinator's work includes typical office activities such as computer use, extended periods of focused review and writing, and attentive listening during intake meetings and hearings. The role also requires mental acuity and emotional steadiness, particularly in managing sensitive cases and decisions that carry real consequences for members of the campus community. Because Title IX matters can arise on short notice and operate under federally mandated timelines, the Coordinator must have the stamina to manage interruptions and shifting priorities.
Work environment
This part-time role centers on Title IX compliance, requiring close attention to confidentiality, procedural accuracy, and deadlines set by federal and institutional policy. Reports, hearings, and case reviews can arise on short notice and require the Coordinator to shift priorities quickly while maintaining thoroughness and fairness, partnering with the broader team to uphold a safe and just campus community. The position is approximately 15 hours per week.
