Are you familiar with your rights under Title IX regulations?
Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities. It applies to all institutions receiving federal funding – which means all of us! (It is not just about sports scholarships.) All Northeast State students, faculty, and staff must receive annual Title IX training. There are several policies, procedures, guidelines, and laws that are important components of Title IX management.
Title IX sex discrimination in education includes, but may not be limited to, recruitment, admissions, rules on student life activities, access to course offerings, counseling, employment assistance, and health/insurance benefits and services.
Title IX sex discrimination in employment includes, but may not be limited to, employment criteria, recruitment, hiring, promotion, tenure, demotion, transfer, compensation, job assignments, leave, and fringe benefits.
The Equity and Compliance Office is responsible for the Northeast State Community College policies, procedures, training, research, and management of Title IX, civil rights, and harassment/discrimination laws.
