About Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) defines and ensures sex and gender equity in education. Title IX prohibits all forms of sex discrimination, including sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and harassment, in federally funded education programs. Title IX 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.”
Beal University is committed to providing a working and educational environment for all faculty, staff, and students that is free of unlawful harassment, sexual violence, discrimination, and retaliation.
