Title IX at UVEI
Title IX Sexual Harassment & Sexual Misconduct
Title IX is a federal law which prohibits discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 reads “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 educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”
UVEI stands fundamentally opposed to any form of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct (which UVEI defines as including gender-based discrimination, sexual violence, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking) and is committed, through Title IX procedures and/or through UVEI’s Non-discrimination and Non-harrassment procedures, to promote an environment that allows candidates, faculty, and staff to be free from the intimidation and coercion that accompanies such actions.
