On Sept. 21, the College hired Erica Rau as its new human resources generalist and Title IX coordinator. The move was announced on Sept. 22 by Lin Hillis, vice president of people, culture, and talent, in a campus-wide email.
Rau served for thirteen years as head coach for the women’s volleyball team at Oberlin College. She also took on roles as Oberlin’s assistant athletic director and deputy Title IX coordinator for athletics.
As Title IX coordinator, Rau will “oversee the College’s efforts to promote a campus environment free from sex-based discrimination and harassment, ensure compliance with Title IX, and support students and employees in understanding their rights and responsibilities under College policy,” Hillis wrote in the email announcement.
Rau’s human resource generalist duties will include overseeing employee relations and managing leaves of absence and accommodations.
