Title IX Non-Discrimination

Title IX Non-Discrimination Statement. In accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq., and its implementing regulations at 34 CFR Part 106, this institution does not discriminate on the basis of sex in any education program or activity that it operates, including admissions, employment, and financial assistance. Sex-based discrimination includes sexual harassment, sexual violence, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and other forms of sex- or gender-based harassment, discrimination, or retaliation. The institution has designated a Title IX Coordinator who is responsible for coordinating the institution's compliance with Title IX and receiving inquiries and complaints. Any person may report sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, to the Title IX Coordinator at any time, including during non-business hours, by telephone, email, mail, or in person. Upon receipt of a formal complaint, the institution will conduct a prompt, thorough, and impartial investigation in accordance with its grievance procedures. Both the complainant and the respondent shall be afforded equal rights throughout the process, including the right to an advisor of their choice, equal access to evidence, and written notice of the outcome. Retaliation against any person for reporting, participating, or refusing to participate in any proceeding under this policy is strictly prohibited.
