Title IX Coordinators

Title IX is a federal law that protects students, employees, applicants for admission and employment, and other persons (collectively, “Covered Persons”) from all forms of sex discrimination, including discrimination based on gender identity or failure to conform to stereotypical notions of masculinity or femininity. Covered Persons at educational institutions are protected by Title IX—regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, part- or full-time status, disability, race, or national origin—in all aspects of the institution’s educational programs and activities. Prohibited sex discrimination under Title IX also includes discriminating against or excluding any student from its education program or activity, including any class or extracurricular activity on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, or recovery therefrom.

The duties of the Title IX Coordinator and any Deputy Title IX Coordinators include:

• Knowing the requirements of Title IX
• Understanding the sexual misconduct grievance procedures
• Participating in the investigation of and response to sexual misconduct complaints
• Preventing and addressing patterns of systemic problems related to sexual misconduct
• Answering questions and responding to concerns about sexual misconduct
• Ensuring publications contain adequate contact information and notice of nondiscrimination
• Notifying and training staff, students, faculty, and other relevant persons on sexual misconduct policies and procedures
