Title IX Policy Against Gender-Based Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. To ensure compliance with Title IX and other federal and state laws, Quinnipiac University has developed policies that prohibit discrimination and misconduct on the basis of gender, such as sexual misconduct, sexual violence, sexual harassment, intimate partner violence, stalking and any other gender-based harassment or misconduct.
Quinnipiac University is committed to providing an environment free from all forms of gender or sex discrimination and sexual misconduct. Members of the university community, guests and visitors have a right to be free from sexual harassment, violence and gender-based discrimination and harassment. The policy is intended to define community standards and to outline the investigation and grievance process when those standards are violated.
These policies apply regardless of the complainant’s or respondent’s sexual orientation, sex, gender identity or expression, age, race, nationality, religion or ability. Harassment or discrimination based upon an individual’s sexual orientation may be considered gender-based and be subject to the policy. Also, prohibitions against discrimination and harassment may not encompass statements and materials that are germane to the classroom or academic course of study.
