TITLE IX - 20 U.S.C. § 1681 & C.F.R. Part 106 (1972): "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 educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law intended to end sex discrimination in all areas of education. Title IX applies to all recipients of federal funds (both public and private institutions) and covers:
- Non-discrimination based on sex or gender
- Sexual harassment and sexual assault
- Program equity, such as athletics.
To ensure compliance with Title IX and other laws, California State University (CSU) policy prohibits:
- Discrimination or Harassment based on any Protected Status
- Sexual Harassment
- Sexual Misconduct
- Dating Violence and Domestic Violence
- Sexual Exploitation
- Stalking
- Prohibited Consensual Relationships
- Retaliation
Humboldt's Title IX Coordinator & Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation (DHR) Prevention Administrator implements this policy and oversees and coordinates prompt and equitable grievance procedures for students, staff, and faculty. The Title IX & DHR Prevention Office, Deputy Coordinators, Investigators, and Campus Partners stand ready to assist any member of the campus community who has experienced discrimination or sexual misconduct.
