Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education:
"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and its implementing regulation at 34 C.F.R. Part 106 (Title IX)
Sex discrimination includes sexual harassment, sexual exploitation and sexual assault. It is often thought of as a law that applies exclusively to intercollegiate athletics programs. This is incorrect. In fact, Title IX is much broader than athletics and applies to all programs at Carroll University. While compliance with the law is everyone’s responsibility at Carroll, listed below are employees who have primary responsibility for Title IX compliance. If you have a complaint against a staff member or visitor for sexual harassment, sex discrimination or sexual assault, you should contact the Human Resources Department.
