What is Title IX?
Sexual Assault and Misconduct Definitions

What is Title IX?

Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination on the basis of sex in an educational institution's programs or activities, including employment, academic, educational, extracurricular, and athletic activities (both on and off-campus). 

The protections of Title IX extend to sexual assault and misconduct that impairs or interferes with access to equitable educational and employment opportunities. It applies to all members of the campus community, including students, District employees, individuals doing business with the campus, those using campus facilities, and those who engage in volunteer activities.

What Are My Rights Under Title IX?
You have the following rights under Title IX, to the extent applicable within the District:

  • You have the right to fair and equitable treatment and shall not be discriminated against based on your sex.

  • You have the right to be provided with an equitable opportunity to participate in all extracurricular
      activities, including athletics.

  • You have the right to inquire of the athletic director at your school or appropriate District personnel as to
      the athletic opportunities offered by the school.

  • You have the right to apply for athletic scholarships.

  • You have the right to receive equitable treatment and benefits in the provision of all the following related
      to athletics, if any are provided by the District:
    • Equipment and supplies;
    • Scheduling of games and practices;
    • Transportation and daily allowances;
    • Access to tutoring;
    • Coaching;
    • Locker rooms;
    • Practice and competitive facilities; 
    • Medical and training facilities and services; and
    • Publicity.

  • You have the right to have access to a gender equity coordinator to answer questions regarding gender
      equity laws.

  • You have the right to contact the State Department of Education and the California Interscholastic
      Federation to access information on gender equity laws.

  • You have the right to file a confidential discrimination complaint with the United States Department of
      Education Office for Civil Rights or the California Department of Education if you believe you have been
      discriminated against or if you believe you have received unequal treatment on the basis of your sex.

  • You have the right to pursue civil remedies if you have been discriminated against.

  • You have the right to be protected against retaliation if you file a discrimination complaint.
     (California Education Code section 221.8.)

Filing Complaints with the District

The District has the responsibility to investigate and respond promptly and effectively to sex-based discrimination complaints, including sexual harassment and sexual violence. If the District knows, or reasonably should know, about sex discrimination, it must take action to eliminate the sex discrimination, prevent its recurrence, and address its effects. For information on the discrimination complaint process, how to file a complaint with the District, and for the contact information for the District Title IX Officer, please click here.

  •   In any complaint not involving employment, the complaint must be filed within one year of the date of
       the alleged unlawful discrimination or within one year of the date on which the complainant knew or
       should have known of the facts underlying the allegation of unlawful discrimination.

  •   In any complaint alleging discrimination in employment, the complaint shall be filed within 180 days of 
       the date the alleged unlawful discrimination occurred, except that this period may be extended by no
       more than 90 days following the expiration of the 180 days if the complainant first obtained knowledge
       of the facts of the alleged violation after the expiration of the 180 days.

External Governmental Agencies such as EEOC, DFEH, OCR, and state and federal courts have their own statute of limitations. If you wish to file an external complaint, be sure to check with the governmental agency for their statute of limitations.
