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&nbsp;IX&nbsp;is much more broad. It prohibits gender-based discrimination in all&nbsp;college programs and activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/cm.maxient.com\/reportingform.php?BellevueCollege\">report a concern online<\/a>.
