What is Title IX?

Title IX is a part of the federal Education Amendments of 1972 law which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational institutions, programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance.

In accordance with Title IX laws, all forms of sex discrimination, including but not limited to: sexual assault, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual violence, and failure to provide equal opportunity in educational programs and co-curricular programs including athletics, discrimination based on pregnancy and parenting, sexual orientation, gender identity, and employment discrimination are strictly prohibited by Central Texas College.
