Title IX

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.

What is Title IX?

       Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. Title IX states “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[.]” All federal agencies that provide grants of financial assistance are required to enforce Title IX’s nondiscrimination mandate. The U.S. Department of Education (Department) gives grants of financial assistance to schools and colleges and to certain other entities, including vocational rehabilitation programs and libraries. 

 

What is Equal Educational Opportunity?

      Clovis Community College is committed to the equitable treatment of all persons and to supporting equal employment access and opportunities to all campus programs, facilities, and services.

      College policy and state and federal laws and regulations forbids unlawful discrimination and harassment against any individual, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, sex stereotyping, transgender status, and gender identity), sexual orientation, national origin (including English proficiency), age, disability, veteran status, or political affiliation or belief, or, against any beneficiary of, applicant to, or participant in programs financially assisted under Title I of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) on the basis of the individuals citizenship status or participation in any WIOA Title I‐ financially assisted program or activity.

      If you think that you have been subject to discrimination at this federally funded institution under Section 188 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, the Code of Federal Regulations Title 29 Part 38, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794), The Americans with Disabilities Act, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.), Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.) or any other policy, please contact Human Resources, the Department of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or the Executive Vice President.

CCC Title IX Policy and Procedures

      The Secretary of Education amends the regulations implementing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX).

      The final regulations specify how recipients of Federal financial assistance covered by Title IX, including elementary and secondary schools as well as postsecondary institutions, (hereinafter collectively referred to as “recipients” or “schools”), must respond to allegations of sexual harassment consistent with Title IX's prohibition against sex discrimination. These regulations are intended to effectuate Title IX's prohibition against sex discrimination by requiring recipients to address sexual harassment as a form of sex discrimination in education programs or activities. The final regulations obligate recipients to respond promptly and supportively to persons alleged to be victimized by sexual harassment, resolve allegations of sexual harassment promptly and accurately under a predictable, fair grievance process that provides due process protections to alleged victims and alleged perpetrators of sexual harassment, and effectively implement remedies for victims.

      The final regulations also clarify and modify Title IX regulatory requirements regarding remedies the Department may impose on recipients for Title IX violations, the intersection between Title IX, Constitutional protections, and other laws, the designation by each recipient of a Title IX Coordinator to address sex discrimination including sexual harassment, the dissemination of a recipient's non-discrimination policy and contact information for a Title IX Coordinator, the adoption by recipients of grievance procedures and a grievance process, how a recipient may claim a religious exemption, and prohibition of retaliation for exercise of rights under Title IX.
