Title IX

What is Title IX?

The Law States:

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Title 20 U.S.C. section 1681.

Title IX protects students against sex-based discrimination and harassment including sex stereotyping and harassment based on gender identity or expression (actual or perceived).

This protection applies to all employees, students, guests and vendors.
This protection applies to decisions involving admissions; course requirements and activities; course selection; financial aid; participation in campus activities, clubs and organizations; educational services and counseling, athletics and employment.

Title IX also prohibits other forms of sex discrimination such as harassment or sexual violence.
