Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. \u00a7 1681) is an all-encompassing federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. Although Title IX is often associated with equal opportunity in athletics programs, the law is much broader and includes discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual harassment and sexual assault.<\/p>\n
“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…” 20 U.S.C. \u00a7 1681<\/strong><\/p>\n While compliance with the law is everyone’s responsibility, oversight of SUNYIT’s compliance with Title IX is the responsibility of the Title IX Coordinator.
