Title IX

What is Title IX?

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces, among other statutes, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. Title IX states that:

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.

Do you need to file a complaint?

Any student, staff member, or third party who believes he or she has been subject to sexual harassment, discrimination, or retaliation is encouraged to promptly report such incidents to the Title IX Coordinator using the contact information detailed below.
