Title IX: Beyond Athletics

Title IX is best known as “the law that made school sports more equitable for girls and women.” But take a closer look at the federal law:

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied benefit of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

That means that a major component of the law covers sexual harassment, which includes acts of sexual violence such as rape, sexual battery and sexual coercion (using pressure, force, alcohol or other drugs to have sexual contact with someone against his or her will).

Every college is required to have a designated Title IX Coordinator. They are responsible for coordinating the University’s response to its Title IX obligations, overseeing complaints, identifying problems, remaining available to the campus community and law enforcement, and handling Title IX concerns. They are also charged with identifying patterns that may be of concern down the road so that the University may respond or engage in appropriate prevention activities.
