What is Title IX?

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 states:

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational programs or activity receiving federal financial assistance. 

Important Title IX Update

As of August 1, 2024, the federal government released updated Title IX regulations. However, enforcement of these new rules has been temporarily blocked in 26 states, including Alaska, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Institutions in these states must continue using the 2020 regulations.

To ensure compliance, HUC-JIR has adopted an additional Title IX policy that enforces the 2024 regulations for employees and students working or studying in states not impacted by the injunction. We will continue to monitor federal guidance and update our policies as needed.

HUC-JIR’s Commitment to Title IX Compliance

In accordance with the 2024 Title IX amendments, HUC-JIR prominently includes all elements of its notice of nondiscrimination on its website and in handbooks, catalogs, bulletins, applications, and recruitment materials. Where size or format limits publication, the following statement is included:

HUC-JIR prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or activity that it operates. Individuals may report concerns or questions to the Title IX Coordinator. The notice of nondiscrimination is located at https://huc.edu/about-huc/equity-inclusion/sex-gender-discrimination/
