Our mission is to provide support and services to UW universities in identifying and fulfilling compliance obligations from federal law, state law, and Board of Regents policies.

The areas of focus include, but are not limited to: Title IX Compliance, Clery Act Compliance, Protection of Minors, Public Records, Records Management, Ethics and Conflicts of Interest, State Authorization of Distance Education, and Investigative Services.
