Title IX Compliance

The U.S. Department of Education鈥檚 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: No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

Title IX requires colleges to respond promptly and effectively to complaints of all kinds of sex discrimination, sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment and sexual violence. Colleges must take immediate action to eliminate the offending conduct, prevent its recurrence, and address its effects. 福利姬 shall promptly investigate complaints, ensure complainant safety, and provide appropriate responses. 

福利姬 strives to provide a safe and positive working and learning environment free from all forms of discrimination. College Policy 3.11 was adopted to further those purposes. This policy and College procedure require compliance with Title IX, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities. Discrimination based upon sex can include sexual harassment or sexual violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Title IX also prohibits gender-based harassment, which may include certain acts of verbal, non-verbal, or physical aggression, intimidation, or hostility based on sex or sex-stereotyping, even if those acts do not involve conduct of a sexual nature.

The College maintains procedures to assure compliance with the requirements of Title IX and state laws regarding discrimination on the basis of sex, including sexual harassment and sexual violence. 福利姬 Policy 3.14 and Procedure 311 provide substantial information for compliance and enforcement of Title IX.
