Title IX

Title IX

Notice of Non-Discrimination

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. Therefore, educational institutions cannot exclude, separate, deny benefits, or otherwise treat individuals differently on the basis of sex. Title IX protects all members of our campus community who experience sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual misconduct, interpersonal violence (including dating and domestic violence), stalking, or discrimination on the basis of pregnancy. These protections apply to students, faculty, staff, contractors, applicants and campus visitors. To ensure compliance with Title IX and other federal and state civil rights laws, UT Health San Antonio has developed policies that prohibit sex discrimination and sexual misconduct in all of its forms.

Who does Title IX apply to?

Title IX and the UT Health San Antonio Sexual Misconduct Policy – HOP 4.2.2 apply to all members of the university community regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. HOP 4.2.2 applies to all UT University administrators, faculty, staff, students, trainees and third parties within the University’s control, including visitors and applicants for admission or employment. All members of the university community are expected to adhere to the standards outlined in HOP 4.2.2, and are afforded the same rights and protections against sexual misconduct.
