10.1 Title IX Policy Statement

Michigan Technological University adheres to all federal, state, and local civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination in employment and education. Michigan Tech does not discriminate in its admissions practices (except as permitted by law), in its employment practices, or in its educational programs or activities on the basis of sex and gender. As a recipient of federal financial assistance for education activities, Michigan Tech is required by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to ensure that all of its education programs and activities do not discriminate on the basis of sex/gender. Sex includes sex, sex stereotypes, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and pregnancy or parenting status.

Michigan Tech also prohibits retaliation against any person opposing discrimination or participating in any discrimination investigation or complaint process internal or external to the institution. Sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and stalking are forms of sex discrimination, which are prohibited under Title IX and by Michigan Tech policy.

Any member of the campus community, including students, faculty, staff, and visitors, who acts to deny, deprive, or limit the educational, employment, residential, or social access, opportunities and/or benefits of any member of the Michigan Tech community on the basis of sex is in violation of the Michigan Technological University Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy and/or Board of Trustees Policy 5.3.

Any person may report sex discrimination (whether or not the person reporting is the person alleged to have experienced the conduct), in person, by mail, by telephone, by video, online, or by email, using the contact information listed for the Title IX Coordinator (below). In case of emergency, always dial 911. A report to the Title IX Coordinator may be made at any time (including during non-business hours) by email or through the online reporting options available on the Title IX and Report a Concern webpages.

Questions regarding Title IX, including its application and/or concerns about noncompliance, should be directed to the Title IX Coordinator. For a complete copy of the policy or for more information, please visit mtu.edu/title-ix/policy/ or contact the Title IX Coordinator.
