Title IX

What is Title IX?

  • Title IX is a federal law that prohibits all forms of sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual violence at any institution that receives federal financial assistance. 
  • This law pertains to all academic, educational, extracurricular, athletic, and other programs occurring on-campus; or during off-campus, school-related activities.
  • Schools are required to process all complaints of sexual violence, regardless of whether they occurred on- or off-campus, to determine whether the behavior occurred within the framework of an on- or off-campus educational program or activity and thus falls under the scope of Title IX.
