Title IX (Gender-Based Discrimination)
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. § 1681) is an all-encompassing federal law that prohibits gender-based discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal funds. Title IX is most commonly associated with gender discrimination in sports and is credited with advancing participation of women in athletics. However, the scope of Title IX is much more broad. It prohibits gender-based discrimination in all college programs and activities.
Title IX protection from discrimination extends to faculty, staff and students. It covers a wide array of sex- and gender-based discrimination, including such things as: sexual harassment, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, gender-identity, gender-expression, and pregnancy. It also prohibits retaliation against anyone who makes or participates in a complaint.
You can report a concern online. If you want to talk with someone before filing a report online, reach out to the Title IX office.
Accommodations are possible for contacting and working with Title IX; if you would like to discuss this, please contact whomever at the DRC you feel most comfortable with.
Tutoring
Free tutoring for all students enrolled in classes is available through the Academic Success Center.
