What is Title IX?
Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments (Title IX) is a Federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity that receives federal funding. Sex discrimination includes gender-based discrimination or harassment, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and gender-based stalking.
New Regulations
In May 2020, the US Department of Education issued new Title IX regulations mandating how colleges that receive federal funding must respond to sexual harassment and sexual misconduct under Title IX. In August 2020, these new Title IX regulations went into effect. To be compliant with the new regulations, LACCD adopted a new Administrative Regulation (C-15) to respond to Title IX complaints that meet specific criteria.
Title IX Coordinators
To address Title IX issues, LACCD has designated a Title IX and Deputy Title IX Coordinators who are specially trained to work with individuals who report gender-based discrimination and sexual misconduct and provide information about resources, support services, and procedural options. To make a report about a specific incident, please contact the Deputy Title IX Coordinator below assigned to your college or site within the District.
