About Title IX at CIAM

What is Title IX?


CIAM is committed to maintaining an inclusive campus environment that is free

from harassment, discrimination, and violence. As CIAM develops programs,

policies, and procedures that foster our vision of a community that promotes the

public good and serves humanity by all of its members, the University aligns its

efforts to comply with various civil rights laws that prohibit gender and sex based

discrimination.

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex of employees

and students of educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance.

Sex discrimination is a broad category that includes sexual harassment, sexual

violence, dating and domestic violence, stalking, discrimination based on

pregnancy, and discrimination based on sexual orientation/identity. Sexual

harassment is unwelcomed conduct based on sex determined by a reasonable

person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies

a person equal access to a school’s educational program or activity. Sexual

harassment includes unwanted and/or unwelcomed sexual advances, requests for

sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature.

CIAM does not tolerate sex discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual violence of

any kind. This prohibition and the application of Title IX is further explained in

the Title IX Sexual and Gender Based Harassment and Misconduct Policy To ensure

compliance with Title IX and other federal and state civil rights laws, the University

has designated​​ Claudia Sarabia as the University's Title IX Coordinator. She is

charged with monitoring compliance with Title IX and ensuring that reports of sex

discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual violence are investigated and

addressed by the University.


Any student, faculty, or staff member with questions or concerns about the

applicable University policies or who believes that they have been the victim of sex

discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual violence is encouraged to contact the

Title IX Coordinator.


“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

program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to the Higher Education Act of 1965
