Home About Title IX

Title IX at Antioch University

Antioch University is committed to fostering a learning and working community built on a foundation of respect and belonging. An integral part of this commitment is ensuring an environment free from sex—or gender-based discrimination and harassment. This includes promoting a welcoming environment for pregnant and parenting individuals. 

What is Title IX?

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”

-Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972

Antioch University recognizes the dignity of all members of the University community and believes that each of us has a responsibility to promote respect for others. The University also seeks to eliminate behaviors that create hostile work or learning environments, to prevent the occurrence of those behaviors, and to address their effects.  All members of the University community should be able to pursue work and education in a safe environment, free from sex-based discrimination and sexual misconduct, and we are committed to fostering a safe campus environment where sexual misconduct and sex-based discrimination are not tolerated and where those who feel they have been harmed receive support and appropriate avenues of redress. Antioch does not discriminate on the basis of sex and prohibits sex discrimination in any education program or activity that it operates. Discrimination on the basis of sex may include discrimination on the basis of sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Please Note: The Title IX policy was revised on August 1, 2024.
