Title IX
The Patsy Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act, AKA Title IX:
Suggested Syllabus Language
J. Oglesby: 02/06/
What is Title IX?
Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972 is the federal law
prohibiting discrimination based on sex under any education program
and/or activity operated by an institution receiving and/or benefiting
from federal financial assistance.
Behaviors that can be considered “sexual discrimination” include sexual
assault, sexual harassment, stalking, relationship abuse (dating violence
and domestic violence), sexual misconduct, and gender discrimination.
You are encouraged to report these behaviors.
Reporting
Florida Tech can better support students in trouble if we know about
what is happening. Reporting also helps us to identify patterns that
might arise – for example, if more than one complainant reports having
been assaulted or harassed by the same individual.
Florida Tech is committed to providing a safe and positive learning
experience. To report a violation of sexual misconduct or gender
discrimination, please contact Security at 321- 674 - 8111. * Please note
that as your professor, I am required to report any incidences to
Security or to the Title IX Coordinator (321- 674 - 8700). For confidential
reporting, please contact CAPS at 321- 674 - 8050.
Fanak Baarmand has the position of Title IX Coordinator for the
university. All incidents or complaints concerning Title IX policy
violations should be referred to her.
