Title IX

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance, such as Miami University.

On April 19, 2024, the U.S. Department of Education released the Final Rule under Title IX. The new regulations were published on April 29, 2024, and will take effect on August 1, 2024.

The Title IX team and the Office of the General Counsel is in the process of reviewing the new requirements to ensure that all necessary changes are made to University policies, procedures, practices, and resources on or before the effective date of the new regulations. Current Title IX policies remain in effect until August 1, 2024.

Please contact Kenya Ash, Title IX Coordinator, with questions at (513) 529-7157 or ashkd@MiamiOH.edu.

Sincerely,

Miami University responds to any report of a Title IX violation. These violations include:

• Sexual Misconduct
• Domestic Violence
• Dating Violence
• Stalking
• Sexual Harassment.

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.

These steps may include support for students affected by the violation, an impartial investigation, and (as necessary) hearings which may result in suspension or dismissal of any student found responsible for a Title IX violation.
