Hello Everyone!

I am Demitric Baez, and I was a graduate intern hall director for Burnap Hall at Eastern Connecticut State University (ECSU) from May 30, 2025, until September 18, 2025, when I was illegally terminated via criminal trespass warning after being hospitalized due to sexual assault stress.

In July 2025, I was sexually assaulted and chemically coerced (influenced or forced to drink substances). I reported this to Sara Judge, the Title IX Coordinator at ECSU, and faced what I believe is retaliation.

As a result, I decided to create Justice For Title IX Survivors – a non-profit organization that dives deep into Title IX-related issues and trauma-informed practices.

Title IX is a law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex (including sexual assault and interpersonal violence) at educational institutions across the United States of America.

Trauma-informed practices are important now more than ever, especially since we are still in the acute (short-term) post-COVID era. I notice that there is a lack of trauma-informed care across the board with organizations, and it is so important that we implement it in higher education institutions. There is a higher prevalence of mental health issues, from anxiety, to depression, to Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), in college students than there was just a short 10 years ago.

I hope that together, we can cultivate a culture where educational institutions “sidestep their litigious fears,” as a I put it in an ethics case study paper I turned in that analyzed my experience. It is time we unite against indifference and hold ourselves and others accountable for systemic injustices.

I look forward to embarking on this journey with you.
