Title IX

Title IX – Prohibits Sexual Harassment and Discrimination on Basis of Gender

UCC is committed to diversity and equal employment/education opportunity. We comply with Title IX. This is a federal civil rights law. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally-financed education programs.

UCC protects and supports the 1972 Educational Amendments of Title IX. We work to:

Promote equity in academic and athletic programs.
Prevent hostile environments on the basis of sex.
Prohibit sexual harassment and sexual violence.
Protect from retaliation and remedy the effects of other gender-based forms of discrimination.
Investigate and notify the college community of serious or ongoing threats. We work to prevent a recurrence.
