Title IX Overview
Pursuant to Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and other applicable state laws and York Technical College Policy, it is illegal to harass or discriminate against any individual (faculty, staff, student, or visitor) on the basis of sex. Specifically, 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. Under Title IX, discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment or sexual violence, such as rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and sexual coercion. Title IX prohibits retaliation against an individual who, in good faith, asserts his or her rights under Title IX or other applicable federal laws and state laws prohibiting illegal discrimination. Title IX also prohibits discrimination against pregnant and parenting students.
