Debra Monk, Title IX Coordinator and Equity Investigator | The Wright State Guardian
Wright State University (WSU) Title IX Coordinator and Equity Investigator Ms. Debra Monk will be stepping down from her position as Title IX coordinator effective Feb. 19.
Serving as Title IX Coordinator and Equity Investigator for WSU since Nov. 16 of last year, Monk said she is extremely saddened to be leaving the Raider community.
“My resignation stemmed from a health related issue,” Monk said. “I assure you my experience here at Wright State has been nothing but positive. I have been welcomed in as a part of a family and I am truly sad to be saying goodbye. I wish everyone at Wright State the best!”
Monk's role as Title IX Coordinator and Equity Investigator was created in order to investigate and adjudicate reports that violate the university policy “Sex/Gender Harassment and Discrimination”, which includes behavior that violates Title IX.
“Title IX says that no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance,” Monk said in an interview with the Wright State Guardian last November.
Prior to accepting the position of Title IX Coordinator and Equity Investigator at WSU, Monk most notably served as Associate Dean of Students and Director of Community Standards at the University of Dayton for 18 years.
"Debra's choice to resign is a personnel matter and therefore not something the university will comment on," WSU Spokesperson Seth Bauguess said. "We wish her all the best and plan to fill this important position as soon as possible."
