Our Best Answer - What is Title IX?
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law intended to end sex discrimination in all areas of education. It applies to:
- non-discrimination based on gender, applicable to all recipients of federal funds, whether a public or a private institution
- issues of program equity, including but not limited to athletics programs
- sexual harassment and sexual assault
The mission of the Title IX & Sexual Harassment Policy Compliance (TIX/SHPC) Office is to ensure all UCSB community members fulfill the campus’ commitment to create and maintain a work and academic environment free of sex discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual violence.
