Title IX Rights, Resources, and Policies
Know Your IX
Title IX
Lake Region State College is committed to creating a welcoming campus community. Everyone has access to educational programs, activities, residence halls, and employment. We understand that for our campus to be welcoming and safe, it must be free from all forms of discrimination. Our goal is to provide information and educational resources about sexual misconduct prevention and awareness.
What is Title IX?
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded educational programs. The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights enforces Title IX. It provides guidance on investigating and responding to sexual misconduct and harassment complaints. Learn more in Questions and Answers on Title IX and Sexual Violence from the Department of Education.
Title IX protections apply to faculty, staff, students, and campus visitors. They cover sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, gender identity, and pregnancy. It also prohibits retaliation against anyone who makes a report or participates in an investigation.
