What is Title IX?
Title IX is a federal civil right that prohibits sex discrimination in education. All members of the university community and visitors have the right to be free from all forms of gender and sex-based discrimination, including sexual violence, sexual harassment, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.
If you've been subjected to gender or sex-based discrimination or misconduct or threatened, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ has ways to help. Requests for adjustments must be submitted to the Title IX Coordinator. The following is not an exhaustive list and interim measures can be changed at any time:
