KNOW YOUR TITLE IX

9 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR TITLE IX RIGHTS AND YOUR SCHOOL'S TITILE IX RESPONSIBILITES

RIGHT_1
Title IX is a landmark federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in education.  Title IX is not just about sports, it also addresses sexual harassment, gender-based discrimination, and sexual violence. 

RIGHT_2
Title IX does not apply to female students only.  Male and gender non-conforming students are protected from any sex-based discrimination,   harassment, or violence. 

RIGHT_3
Schools must take immediate action to ensure a complainant-victim can continue their education free of ongoing sex discrimination, sexual  harassment, or sexual violence. 

RIGHT_4
Schools must have an established procedure for handling complaints of sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual violence.


RIGHT_5
Schools can issue a no contact directive under Title IX to prevent the accused student from approaching or interacting with you.


RIGHT_6
Schools may not retaliate against someone filing a complaint and must keep a complainant-victim safe from other retaliatory harassment or behavior.


RIGHT_7
Schools must be proactive in ensuring that your campus is free of sex discrimination. 

Schools cannot discourage survivors from continuing their education. Survivors have a right to remain on campus and have every educational program available to them. 


RIGHT_8
In case of sexual violence, schools are prohibited from encouraging or allowing mediation of the complaint.  However, they may still offer such an alternative process for less severe complaints. 

RIGHT_9
Schools should not make survivors pay the costs of certain accommodations that they require in order to continue their educations after experiencing violence. Schools should provide free counseling, tutoring, changes to campus housing, and other accommodations to survivors who need them.
