Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination in educational institutions. It 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”. Title IX compliance is overseen by the Office of Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education. It is an amendment to the Higher Education Act of 1965 which, itself, sprang from the Civil Rights Act of 1964, including Title IV, which broadly prohibits harassment and discrimination on the basis of many personal characteristics including race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. Consequently, the University is responsible to promptly, equitably, and reliably address allegations of sexual harassment, discrimination, violence, and retaliation.
We at St. Andrews share a common belief that every person should be able to work and study in an environment free from discrimination, harassment or intimidation. It is the policy of St. Andrews that no member of the campus community shall be subjected to any form of unlawful discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or violence by any other member of this institution. St. Andrews will provide fair, equitable, reliable, and compassionate responses to any type of sexual discrimination or violence of which it is aware and constantly work to prevent members of the campus community from being subjected to any form of unlawful discrimination, including sexual discrimination (sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual violence, retaliation, and domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking).
