“在美国,任何人不得, 以性别为基础, 被排除在…之外, 被剥夺…的利益, 或在接受联邦财政援助的任何教育计划或活动中受到歧视……”
1972年的《网投比较靠谱的大平台》第九条是一项联邦民权法,禁止接受联邦资助的教育机构存在性别歧视. Under Title IX, sexual discrimination includes harassment 以性别为基础.
这可以采取多种形式,包括:
- 口头或书面骚扰
- Sexual assault, including rape and other unwanted sexual touching
- 跟踪(以性为基础)
- 约会或家庭暴力

怀孕Acomodations
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”), 20 U.S.C. §1681 et seq., 联邦民权法是否禁止在教育项目和活动中基于性别(包括怀孕和父母身份)的歧视. 受第九条保护的怀孕和与怀孕有关的情况包括学生的怀孕, childbirth, 终止妊娠, lactation, and medical conditions related to or recovery from these.
- 可以提供合理的修改,以允许怀孕的学生参加教育活动, 只要这些安排不会导致教育计划/活动的根本改变或对TSU造成不适当的负担.
- 学生因怀孕而有医学上的必要缺课,只要提供所需的文件,就可以像其他任何缺课一样被原谅. 学生仍然需要按照他们的学术课程政策来完成任何学术要求.
- 学生因怀孕或与怀孕有关的情况,可以根据托国立的请假政策自愿请假,至少要休一段时间,并由持牌医疗保健提供者认为有医疗必要, and longer if permitted under university policy. 该学生将被恢复到相同的学术地位(和课外地位), to the extent practical) when the leave begins. 对于某些专业学校, due to the nature of the curriculum and clinical experiences, 学生可能无法在他们离开的同一学期重新开始,但可能需要在下一个课程提供的课程中学习. This may result in a delay in program completion.
- 在某些情况下,学生可能不符合托国立请假政策规定的自愿休假资格. In such an event, 学生应与他们的学院合作,以确定他们是否符合特定学院政策下的入学行政休息资格.
- Students who are lactating will be provided with access to a safe, clean, 不是洗手间的私人空间. 根据学生的学术课程要求,弥补学术要求和临时修改的选择有所不同, the timing and duration of the student’s documented pregnancy-related need, and the nature of the academic requirement(s) missed. 照顾伴侣/配偶, childcare, or baby bonding is not justification for modifications under Title IX.
