Overview
Title IX Training
Title IX training stems from a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex or gender in educational institutions receiving federal funding. This encompasses sexual misconduct and sexual harassment as forms of sex discrimination.
A comprehensive Title IX training program plays an important role in educating students, faculty and staff on their rights and responsibilities in addressing, reporting, and preventing sexual misconduct. It aims to foster a secure and respectful environment that is conducive to learning and work.
Title IX Protections
Enforced by the US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, Title IX protects all students, faculty, staff, and employees from sex discrimination. Title IX also protects individuals from retaliation for filing a complaint of sexual misconduct or participating in an investigation.
Title IX applies to schools including post-secondary institutions like colleges, universities, and vocational schools. It requires educational institutions to implement policies and procedures for preventing sexual misconduct and processing complaints — as well as provide annual training for all employees (including student employees).
Having a clear understanding of Title IX can help students, faculty and staff better navigate and address issues related to sexual harassment and discrimination on campus, cultivating a safer and more inclusive educational environment for everyone involved.
