Title IX: Discrimination

Title IX: Sex Discrimination, Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment

Student to student sexual harassment, including acts of sexual violence, is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) 20 U.S.C. Section 1681 et seq., and its implementing regulations, 34 C.F.R. Part 106.  Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities.  The College policy regarding sex discrimination, including assault, violence, and harassment, complies with guidance received from the Office of Civil Rights of the Federal Department of Education.
