Title IX Overview
Title IX of the 1972 Education Act is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs which receive federal funding. Title IX specifically states:
"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."
Glendale Community College District (District) strives to create and maintain a learning and work environment where all individuals who participate in District programs and activities can do so in an atmosphere free of harassment and discrimination. To this end, the District is committed to creating and sustaining a learning and work environment free of misconduct including:
-
Sexual harassment
-
Sexual violence including dating or domestic violence, and stalking
-
Discrimination based on sex, gender expression, gender identity, and pregnancy
If you experience any of the above forms of misconduct, you are strongly encouraged to report your experience by contacting the Title IX Coordinator. (See information below). Your safety and well-being is a top priority for the District.
Title IX Coordinator and Reporting Misconduct
Title IX requires the District to designate a Title IX Coordinator to monitor and oversee overall Title IX compliance. The District’s Title IX Coordinator is available to explain and discuss the District’s Title IX complaint process, including the investigation process; the right to file a criminal complaint (example: cases of sexual misconduct); how confidentiality is handled; available resources, both on and off campus; and other related matters.

Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA)
The Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act requires co-educational institutions of postsecondary education that participate in a Title IV, federal student financial assistance program, and have an intercollegiate athletic program, to prepare an annual report to the Department of Education on athletic participation, staffing, and revenues and expenses, by men's and women's teams. The Department will use this information in preparing its required report to the Congress on gender equity in intercollegiate athletics.
Equity in athletics data is now available on the Web at: http://ope.ed.gov/
Statute and Regulations
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA) was enacted on August 14, 2008. This law reauthorizes and extends the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. The Higher Education Act (HEA) provides the statutory authority for most of the programs and activities administered or conducted by the Office of Postsecondary Education, including requirements related to equity in athletics disclosure.
These regulations govern the consumer disclosure requirements for institutions that participate in the Federal student financial assistance programs.
