Title IX

At Carroll, we are dedicated to educating the whole person and providing a safe and supportive environment.

Title IX Prohibits Sexual Harassment Where You Go To School

Know your rights! Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs and activities. All public and private elementary and secondary schools, school districts, colleges and universities receiving any federal funds must comply with Title IX.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972

As a recipient of federal financial assistance for education activities, Carroll College is required by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to ensure that all of its education programs and activities do not discriminate on the basis of sex/gender.  Carroll College also prohibits retaliation against any person opposing discrimination on the basis of sex/gender or participating in any discrimination investigation or complaint process internal or external to the institution. Sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating, and domestic violence, and stalking are forms of sex discrimination, which are prohibited under Title IX and by this Carroll College policy. Any member of the campus community, guest, or visitor who acts to deny, deprive, or limit the educational, employment, residential, or social access, opportunities and/or benefits of any member of the Carroll College community on the basis of sex/gender is in violation of the Title IX Policy.
