Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. §1681 et seq.) is a federal
civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs
and activities. This law applies to all public and private elementary and secondary
schools, school districts, colleges and universities that receive federal funding.
Discrimination under Title IX includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating and
domestic violence, and stalking.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended, prohibits discrimination
on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. As such,
Title IX mandates that no person shall be excluded from participation in or discriminated
against on the basis of sex in programs or activities at educational institutions
that receive federal financial assistance.
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination prohibited under Title IX. Sexual
harassment may be verbal, non-verbal or physical in nature, such as persistent unwanted
sexual comments and/or advances or requests for sexual favors. Sexual harassment also
includes acts of sexual violence.
Both victim and the harasser can be either male or female, and the victim and harasser
can be the same sex. In the workplace, the harasser can be the victim's supervisor,
a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or someone who is not an employee of UNCP,
such as a visitor or vendor. UNC Pembroke is committed to providing an inclusive and
welcoming environment for all students, faculty and staff.
All members of the university community are expected to engage in conduct that contributes
to the culture of integrity and honor we strive to maintain. Acts of sexual misconduct,
sexual harassment, dating violence, domestic violence and stalking jeopardize the
health and welfare of our campus community.
