What Is Title IX?

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects people from sex discrimination in educational programs and activities at institutions that receive federal financial assistance. Sex discrimination includes sexual harassment, sexual violence, and sexual misconduct.

St. John's University is committed to providing an environment that is free from all forms of discrimination on the basis of sex and offers many resources to students, faculty, administrators, and staff to address concerns relating to discrimination on the basis of sex or gender identity.
