Dear BYU (part two)

In part one, I mentioned that I had researched the websites of several other private religious or Utah-based universities to see if this BYU resource, the “Survivor Advocate,” was replicated at other universities.

Here is what I found on the BYU.edu Title IX page, where I discovered that the advocate link in the screenshot does not go to the Title IX Coordinator or even the Title IX office.

Survivor Advocate listed. Image in place of immediate information. No immediate contact information for Title IX Coordinator.

I checked Utah Valley University, Mountainland Technical College, Utah State University, Western Governor’s University, Oregon State University, Pepperdine University, Northwest Nazarene University, University of Utah, and Westminster College.

Note: An interesting thing to research would be how many clicks away from the home page is the Title IX page, as well as how comprehensive and immediately accessible the content is, as well as how easy it is to find the contact information for the Title IX Coordinator. #inmyfreetime

In my search, I decided to look at other CES Schools.

BYU-Idaho:

No Survivor Advocate listed. Clear, immediate information. Immediate contact info.

BYU-Hawaii:

No Survivor Advocate listed. Clear, immediate information, including contact info.

Ensign College:

No Survivor Advocate listed. Immediate contact information.

Also, it is interesting to me that the BYU Survivor Advocate webpage doesn’t directly link to the Title IX Office except for in a small footer menu.

Note: All of these photos are current as of May 18, 2021. If you find the pages are different from what is here, please submit the links to the updated pages and I’ll upload new screenshots.

It’s all just weird, right?
