Sexual Harassment and 第九条

Put a stop to sexual harassment. You are protected through 第九条.

什么是第九条?

第九条 of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. _ 1681) is an all-encompassing federal law that prohibits gender-based discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal funds. 第九条 is most commonly associated with gender discrimination in sports and is credited with advancing participation of women in athletics. 然而, the scope of 第九条 is much broader. It prohibits gender-based discrimination in all college programs and activities.

第九条 protection from discrimination extends to faculty, staff and students and includes such things as: sexual harassment, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, gender-identity and pregnancy. It also prohibits retaliation against anyone who makes or participates in a complaint.
