Title IX is defined by the Education Amendments of 1972 that prohibits sex discrimination in education.
“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.”
In accordance with Title IX, Sul Ross State University complies with the Title IX Higher Education Amendments of 1972 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs or activities; Sul Ross complies with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sex discrimination in employment; and Sul Ross complies with the Texas State University System Sexual Misconduct Policy which defines sexual misconduct as a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX and Title VII.
Sul Ross encourages everyone to immediately report incidents of sex discrimination, sexual harassment (including sexual assault or violence) or sexual misconduct to the Title IX Coordinator, to a Title IX Deputy Coordinator, to Human Resources Staff, or to the Dean of Student Life. Sexual Misconduct cases may also be reported to the University Department of Public Safety, the Alpine Police Department, and other law enforcement authorities.
