About Title IX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For detailed information regarding the Title IX investigation and grievance process, please refer to the Transylvania University Equal Opportunity, Harassment, and Nondiscrimination Policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title IX is a federal civil rights law that states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\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 subject to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects individuals from sex-based discrimination in education. This includes promoting equity in academic and athletic programs, addressing hostile environments, prohibiting sexual harassment and sexual violence, protecting against retaliation, and ensuring appropriate responses to other forms of gender-based discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For additional information, please review the University\u2019s Equal Opportunity, Harassment, and Nondiscrimination Policy or contact the Title IX Office at titleix@transy.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
