What is Title IX? 

In April, 2011 the Office of Civil Rights issued a "Dear Colleague" letter (DCL) explaining to schools, colleges, and universities their obligations, under Title IX, to take immediate and effective steps to eliminate sexual harassment, including sexual violence.  Whether it be on-campus, off-campus, in transit, or at other sponsored locations, Title IX prohibits the following in our education programs and activities:

• Sex-based discrimination
• Sexual harassment
• Sexual violence
• All forms of sexual misconduct
• Gender-based harassment including:  verbal, nonverbal, or physical aggression, intimidation, or hostility based on sex
• Discriminatory sex stereotyping
