Title IX

• Title IX applies to:
  • incidents that occur on campus or within the University’s education program(s) or activities,
  • where a complainant is a person in the United States, and
  • when the conduct that occurred fits the definition of sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, and stalking; quid pro quo harassment; and unwelcome conduct, determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the University’s program or activity.
• Incidents falling under the jurisdiction of Title IX follow the Title IX Investigation and Hearing Process.

    • when the conduct that fits the definition of sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, and stalking; or unwelcome conduct, determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, or objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the University’s program or activity, but occurs outside.
