TITLE IX

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”), 20 U.S.C. §1681 et seq., is a Federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities. All public and private elementary and secondary schools, school districts, colleges, and universities receiving any Federal funds must comply with Title IX. Under Title IX, discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment or sexual violence, such as rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, and sexual coercion.

Title IX protects any person from sex-based discrimination, regardless of their real or perceived sex, gender identity, and/or gender expression. Female, male, and gender non-conforming students, faculty, and staff are protected from any sex-based discrimination, harassment, or violence. Sexual Harassment may be verbal, non-verbal, or physical in nature and prohibited by Title IX.

In furtherance of this commitment, and in accordance with Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”), and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the “Clery Act”), as amended by the Violence Against Women Act (“VAWA), MRU prohibits the forms of sexual or related conduct. Additional information and related forms can be found on the Consumer Information section of the MRU website.

Miami Regional University is proactive and committed to ensuring all students, faculty and staff at our institution attend/work in an environment that is free of sex discrimination by responding promptly and effectively. Information on Title IX is provided to all incoming new students at orientation, along with contact information for MRU’s Title IX Coordinator. Please see Title IX postings throughout the campus for additional information.
