Title IX

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972

“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.”

In compliance with Title IX, William & Mary prohibits discrimination based on the sex (gender) of employees and students in all programs and activities of the university. Under university policies, sex discrimination includes prohibition of Title IX sexual harassment and other sexual misconduct, as well as discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

We encourage anyone who wants to make a report or who has questions or concerns to contact the Title IX Coordinator.
