What is Title IX?
Title IX states that: 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. The Office of Title IX Compliance at the University of Florida provides leadership for Title IX activities; consultation, education and training; and helping to ensure the university responds appropriately, effectively and equitably to Title IX issues.
