Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance Mission
Wichita State University strives to provide an educational, employment and contracting
environment that reflects its mission and promotes a deep understanding and appreciation
among the diverse members of the University community.
Lucretia Taylor will be joining the Wichita State University Office of Institutional
Equity and Compliance as its new Title IX coordinator.
In this role, she is responsible for investigating complaints of sexual misconduct,
discrimination and harassment. Prior to joining WSU, Taylor worked at Kansas State
University’s Office of Institutional Equity at Kansas State University as an investigator.
She investigated complaints under Title IX, VII and VI.
Title IX is a comprehensive federal law that requires gender equity for men and women
in every educational program that receives federal funding.
Taylor will begin her work with WSU on Nov. 15.
She is a native Wichitan and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in administration
of justice from Wichita State. She also earned a law degree from Washburn University.
In her role as Title IX coordinator, Taylor will work to increase awareness of and
compliance with Title IX regulations.
“The Title IX role dictates listening to students and addressing concerns in a fair
and equitable manner,” Taylor said. “I had a wonderful college experience and I want
students to have the same. I am honored to return and make a difference and contribution
to the university that I love.”
