This requirement extends to admissions and employment with the university. Inquiries about the application of Title IX or 34 C.F.R. Part 106 to A-State may be referred to A-State’s Title IX Coordinator, to the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights for the U.S. Department of Education, or both.

In Person: Administration Building, Suite 104
By mail: Office of Title IX and Institutional Equity, P.O. Box 1500, State University, AR 72467
Any person may report sex discrimination, including sexual harassment (whether or not the person reporting is the person alleged to be the victim of conduct that could constitute sex discrimination or sexual harassment), in person, by phone, or by email using the contact information provided above or by any other means that results in the Title IX Coordinator receiving the person’s verbal or written report. Such a report may be made at any time (including during non-business hours) by using the telephone number or email address, or by mail to the office address, provided above.

Services for Individuals With Disabilities
Arkansas State University’s Coordinator of Services to students, faculty and staff with disabilities is also the university’s compliance coordinator for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). In this capacity, the coordinator arranges for academic adjustments and auxiliary aids to be provided to qualified students and coordinates workplace accommodations. The coordinator also is the individual to whom concerns about physical access to facilities, buildings and grounds should be addressed. The coordinator’s office is located on the second floor (Room 2181) of the Reng Student Services Center. The telephone number is (870) 972-3964.
