    Title IX at UNG

    Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 was the first comprehensive federal law to prohibit sex discrimination against students and employees of educational institutions. Title IX states, in part:

    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.

    Sexual Misconduct and Title IX Sexual Harassment

    The University of North Georgia uses sexual misconduct as a broad term encompassing Title IX Sexual Harassment and other sexual misconduct that does not fall under the Title IX Sexual Harassment regulations. The behaviors that are prohibited by the Sexual Misconduct Policy are sexual harassment, nonconsensual sexual contact, nonconsensual sexual penetration, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and sexual exploitation.

    Pregnancy and Parenting

    Title IX protection extends to students who are pregnant, have experienced a pregnancy-related condition, or are new parents. This protection applies to both men and women.

    Gender Discrimination

    Discrimination based on gender is a violation of Title IX. Gender discrimination is when someone is treated unequally or disadvantageously based on their gender but not necessarily in a sexual nature. This includes harassment/discrimination based on sex, gender identity, or gender expression.

    What Does the Title IX Office Do?

    The Title IX Office works to prevent sex and gender-based discrimination and ensure that no person is denied access to any educational program or activity based on sex, gender, or pregnancy status.

    Report forms:

    • Sexual Misconduct Reporting Form

    What Does the TItle IX Coordinator Do?

    The Title IX Coordinator ensures that the process for addressing Title IX complaints is handled promptly and equitably, with fairness to everyone involved. They make certain that anyone who comes to them understands their rights and has the information they need to determine what to do next.

    They can also provide reasonable accommodations and supportive measures to ensure access and meaningful participation for undergraduate students, graduate students, staff, and faculty in their education, housing, and employment.
