Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments was passed by the U.S. Congress on June 23, 1972, and signed into law on July 1, 1972. The preamble to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 states that, “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.”
The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for the development, implementation, and monitoring of meaningful efforts to comply with Title IX legislation, regulation, and state law. The Title IX Coordinator monitors DSU policy in relation to Title IX law developments. They also implement grievance procedures, including notification, investigation, and disposition of complaints. They provide policy and precure information, offer Title IX training for the campus community, and conduct and/or coordinate investigations of alleged complaints received pursuant to Title IX. They also make reasonable effort to ensure a fair and neutral process for all parties and monitor all other aspects of the University’s Title IX compliance.
