Title IX and Other Discrimination Policies
Addressing Harassment and Discrimination in All Its Forms
Anderson University takes seriously its obligations to provide an educational program and workplace free of harassment and discrimination in all forms. These are both legal and moral obligations, as scripture announces in Genesis 1 that God created humanity in God’s own image, making all humans worthy of respect, and Jesus taught that we should love one another.
What is Title IX?
Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972, which amended the Civil Rights Act of 1964, states: “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.” (20 USC 1681)
Title IX addresses harassment and discrimination based on sex and gender. If you believe that you have experienced sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking, please click the Title IX link below for the policy and procedures for addressing this. Reporting methods are included in the procedures.
