Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law that states that
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.
Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal
funding. Discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment or sexual
violence, such as rape, sexual assault, sexual coercion, stalking and domestic/intimate
partner violence. While it is often thought of as a law that applies only to athletics
programs, Title IX is much broader than Athletics and applies to all programs at the
university. The University of South Alabama prohibits sex or gender-based harassment,
discrimination or retaliation.
The Title IX Office is dedicated to supporting the university's commitment to creating
an environment where students, faculty, staff and visitors are free from discrimination,
sexual harassment, and sexual violence. We provide leadership and support regarding
Title IX regulations and the implementation of prevention programming that addresses
sex discrimination and sexual violence. The Title IX Office takes all allegations
of sexual misconduct seriously. We will promptly respond and thoroughly investigate
and resolve all complaints of sexual misconduct in accordance with the university's
Sexual Misconduct Policy. We are committed to supporting all members of the university
community by providing fair and equitable services and resources.
