What is Title IX?
The United States Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is the federal agency charged with enforcing compliance with Title IX to prevent loss of federal funds. For more information on OCR, please visit their website at https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/index.html . OCR requires that educational institutions appoint a Title IX Coordinator to help ensure federal compliance and implementation of policies and procedures that must be communicated to students and employees.
Title IX prohibits discrimination in educational program or activities including athletics; recruitment, admissions, financial aid and scholarships; course offerings and access; counseling; treatment of pregnant or parenting students; employment; and prohibits sex or gender based harassment or misconduct.
