As a recipient of Federal financial assistance, Rowan University is also subject to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in the University’s programs and activities. It reads:  “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.” Student/employee complaints of sexual harassment/sexual assault (as defined by Title IX) against students and University employees raise Title IX concerns and, therefore, are governed by the University’s Title IX Sexual Harassment/Sexual Assault Policy. Complaints alleging sexual misconduct that falls outside of Title IX's definitional and jurisdictional requirements, may be governed by the University's Student Sexual Misconduct and Harassment Policy or Student Code of Conduct when made against a student; or this Policy Prohibiting Discrimination in the Workplace and Educational Environment or Disruptive Behavior and Workplace Violence Policy when made against a University Employee.
