Title IX
Title IX is a federal law passed in 1972 which 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.”
Overview
Miami University responds to any report of a Title IX violation. These violations include:

When a Title IX violation is reported, the University will take appropriate steps to end the harassment, prevent its recurrence, and remedy the discriminatory effect.
