Following a comprehensive national search led by search committee chairs Phyleccia Cole and Kim Durr and involving numerous constituency groups, Chancellor Randy Pembrook is pleased to announce the appointment of Jamie Ball, JD, as director of the Office of Equal Opportunity, Access and Title IX Coordination (EOA). Ball assumes her new duties effective Monday, June 18.
Ball arrives on campus after serving as the first institutional compliance officer/Title IX coordinator at Truman State University. She coordinated the University’s compliance with all aspects of Title IX and other laws and regulations relating to equal opportunity and non-discrimination. She served as the primary investigator for cases involving faculty, staff and student grievances relating to Title IX and other civil rights issues.
“We are incredibly pleased that Jamie Ball will be joining SIUE,” said Pembrook. “Her background and experience have prepared her well to lead in this area of vital importance. I know our University community will welcome her to Edwardsville.”
“I am honored and excited to be joining the SIUE community,” said Ball. “I look forward to forging strong relationships with the many campus partners who are essential to the support and implementation of an outstanding EOA program. I also look forward to making use of some new strategies that will support and streamline the case management process for Equal Employment Opportunity/Title IX complaints.”
“Most importantly, I am eager to get to know the people of SIUE,” she added. “Through listening to and learning from our students, staff and faculty, I’ll be empowered with invaluable insights that will help ensure that SIUE is as equitable, safe and inclusive as it can be.”
