Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (amending the Higher Education Act of 1965) is a gender equity law prohibiting discrimination based on gender in education programs and activities receiving federal funding. Sexual harassment, which includes sexual violence and other forms of nonconsensual sexual misconduct, is a form of sex discrimination and is prohibited under this law. Allegations will be reviewed centrally by Clemson’s Title IX coordinator or appointed deputy Title IX coordinators to determine if it meets the criteria above. If the above criteria are met, students will be typically be referred to the Office of Community and Ethical Standards (OCES) and employees to the Office of Human Resources (HR) for adjudication. The adjudication process includes an investigation, assistance from a trained advisor, a live hearing with cross-examination and a right to an appeal. Matters that do not fall within the scope of Title IX could still be actionable under the Student Code of Conduct or applicable employment policies.
