Title IX at Collin College
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX)
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex against
any person in education programs and activities receiving federal funding.
Students have the right to pursue an education, including athletic programs, scholarships,
and other activities, in an environment that is free from sex discrimination, including
sexual assault and sexual harassment. Likewise, employees have the right to work in
an environment that is free from sex discrimination, including sexual assault and
sexual harassment.
Title IX requires schools that receive federal financial assistance to take necessary steps
to prevent sex discrimination, sexual assault, and sexual harassment on their campuses
and to respond promptly and effectively when sex discrimination, sexual assault, or
sexual harassment is reported.
Title IX was amended on May 19, 2020, to include dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking
in its definition of sexual harassment and prescribe specific requirements for investigating
and responding to allegations of sex discrimination, dating violence, domestic violence,
retaliation, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and stalking.
Collin College is committed to compliance with Title IX, which prohibits dating violence, domestic violence, retaliation, sex discrimination,
sexual assault, sexual harassment, and stalking in federally funded education programs
and activities.
