Allegheny College Athletics

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex against any person in education programs and activities receiving federal funding.

In the past, the emphasis in its enactment has been on girls' and women's access to athletics in an educational setting. The intention of Title IX is to be enforced much more broadly. Colleges and universities have a responsibility to address and prevent sexual harassment and violence in all its forms on their campuses. 

No member of the Allegheny College community should tolerate discriminatory or sexual harassment, sexual assault or other form of sexual violence, dating violence, domestic violence or stalking. Allegheny College prohibits all such forms of conduct in its community by any member of the Allegheny College community or by any guest or visitor to Allegheny. Individuals experiencing, observing or otherwise having information regarding any of these types of misconduct are urged to report the information immediately.
