Overview
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination in education programs and activities at all schools, including colleges and universities, that receive federal funding. Sex discrimination includes sexual harassment and sexual and gender-based violence. Sex discrimination is never acceptable and is a violation of College of Lake County policy as well as state and federal law.
