Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. It 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 education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
Consistent with its commitment to non-discrimination, the University does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the education program or activity that they operate, and are required by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) to not discriminate in such a manner. The requirement not to discriminate in the education program or activity extends to admission and employment. Inquiries about the application of Title IX to the University may be referred to FSU's Title IX Coordinator, to the Assistant Secretary of the Office for Civil Rights, or both.
The University has designated Title IX Coordinators who have primary responsibility for Title IX compliance and with whom complaints of sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking may be filed. To report a complaint of sexual assault or any other crime, you may also contact University Police.
