DIXIE STATE COLLEGE
Title IX Information

In 1974 Congress passed Title IX of the Education Amendments, which prohibits sex discrimination in federally-assisted programs.   Specifically, Title IX states:  “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” In order to comply with Title IX, the college affirms its commitment to the above-stated policy. 

Dixie State College interprets Title IX to include sexual harassment. Individuals who believe that they have been discriminated against should contact the Human Resource Office in the South Administration Building, (435) 652-7521 or 7522  (where access to an EEOC officer may be obtained), or the Office for Civil Rights, Department of Education, Denver Region, Federal Building, 19th and Stout Street, Denver, Colorado 80294.  Dixie State College strongly endorses the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act.  State laws on the college campus will be enforced at all times and adjudicated in a court of law.  Infractions of Student Rights and Responsibilities should be referred to the student affairs committee under the direction of the vice president of students for sanctions and probation.
