Syracuse University’s Office of Equal Opportunity, Inclusion and Resolution Services has appointed SHERIAH DIXON as an Equal Opportunity and Title IX investigator. Her appointment is the second of two new investigator positions at Syracuse that have now been filled to expand the office’s capacity for handling complaints relating to sexual violence and sexual harassment. Melanie Cuevas-Rodriguez was appointed in May. In addition to investigating Title IX complaints, Dixon will investigate and coordinate responses to complaints of discrimination and harassment and ensure compliance with Equal Opportunity policies and federal, state and local regulations. Dixon was previously the acting director of the Office of Residence Life and Student Conduct and assistant director of the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards at Onondaga Community College (OCC). Prior to her time at OCC, she was an assistant residence director with Syracuse University’s Office of Residence Life, in which she served as a hearing officer for disciplinary matters and consulted with the residence director or central office director regarding appropriate sanctions. Dixon earned an associate degree in criminal justice and a bachelor’s degree in criminal investigation at SUNY Canton and a master’s degree in social work at Syracuse.
