We educate the campus about sexual misconduct. Additionally, we provide supportive resources to members of the campus community involved in Title IX matters. 

What is Title IX?

Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in educational institutions. Title IX 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 educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”  Under Title IX, sexual misconduct is considered a form of sex discrimination.
