Statement to the 新澳门六合彩投注 Community Regarding the 2024 Title IX Regulations
Dear 新澳门六合彩投注 Community,
Today, August 1, 2024, is the effective date of the recently issued which applies to complaints of sex discrimination, including sex-based harassment and sexual misconduct that occurs on or after this date. Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. We are monitoring ongoing litigation that may subsequently impact the implementation and enforcement of the 2024 Final Rule.
Consistent with Title IX and 新澳门六合彩投注鈥檚 mission, sex discrimination in any education program or activity that the University operates, including admission and employment, is prohibited. The University鈥檚 Notice of Non-Discrimination and Title IX is located on the University website.
The 2024 Final Rule clarifies that sex discrimination under Title IX includes discrimination on the basis of sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity and expands protections to students and employees who are pregnant or parenting. It also provides full protection from all forms of sex-based harassment, including sexual misconduct and unwelcome sex-based conduct that creates a hostile environment by limiting or denying a person鈥檚 ability to participate in or benefit from a school鈥檚 education program or activity. Training related to the 2024 Final Rule will be made available.
To comply with the 2024 Final Rule, a working group of University partners (faculty and staff) provided recommendations which the University has implemented via interim Procedure 6941 鈥淧rohibiting Sex-Based Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct.鈥 Interim Procedure 6941 can be found here. Incidents may be reported using the forms specified for students and employees within interim Procedure 6941.
The Sexual Misconduct Procedure (6940) available here remains in effect for incidents that occurred on or before July 31, 2024.
Individuals may report concerns or questions to the Title IX Coordinator.
