Title IX - Resources for Complaints of Sexual Harassment

Title IX is the federal law that establishes protection for students who are victims of harassment, sexual harassment and sexual assault on or off campus, in any academic, educational, extracurricular and athletic activity endorsed by the Institution.

Compliance:

  • It requires educating the university community about the rules and policies against sexual discrimination.
  • Compliance with Title IX is a requirement for higher education institutions to receive federal funds.
  • Educational programs must be developed in compliance with Title IX.
  • Take necessary measures to avoid discrimination and its consequences.
  • The Institution must promulgate the procedures to address any complaint.
  • Every Higher Education Institution that benefits from federal funds must have a Title IX Coordinator.

Title IX Coordinator Responsibilities:

  • Receives and investigates all student complaints.
  • Maintains a record of all complaints and will prepare an annual report.
  • Conducts orientation workshops and disseminates information on Title IX to raise awareness and educate the university community in order to prevent and eradicate sexual violence on campus.
  • Review institutional policies and ensure compliance with the Institution's provisions.

Student rights:

The student will contact the coordinator or authorized personnel to:

  • Report possible Title IX incidents
  • File a formal complaint about the incident
  • Right to information on policies and procedures
  • Access to information on actions and resolution of complaints regarding sexual discrimination or inappropriate conduct.

Course of action:

Once a student or employee becomes aware of a possible act constituting sexual harassment committed against a student, it is his or her responsibility to report it to the Title IX Coordinator.
