Title nine was an historic executive order yet the rights it provides to students is not fully understood by many students.
According to the University of Southern California Office Of Sexual Harassment.
Title IX forbids sex discrimination in all university student services and academic programs including, but not limited to, admissions, financial aid, academic advising, housing, athletics, recreational services, college residential life programs, health services, counseling and psychological services
Title nine not only applies to schools but also government entities as well as private employers that receives federal funding.
Every school that receives federal funding is required to have a Title nine coordinator on campus. This person is responsible for making sure the school compiles with Title. On the Lyndon State College campus that person is Jonathan Davis.
This person must make sure that sexual incidents of sexual harassment are properly investigated.
I recently spoke with Davis about his role as Title nine coordinator.
