Title IX on Campus

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity that receives financial support from the Federal government. Under Title IX, schools must be proactive in ensuring that their campuses are free of sex discrimination which includes all forms of gender-based violence (i.e. rape, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, stalking, sexual harassment. Colleges and universities across the country are facing enhanced scrutiny around Title IX compliance and are having to adjust to new legislative mandates (both federal and state) that require more robust response and prevention efforts. VAWPP workshops are informed by and aligned with these mandates.  For information, support and resources available at UConn, please visit the Title IX website.
