Title IX of the Education Amendment Act of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in all areas of education programs and activities such as admissions, financial aid, housing, facilities, scholastic, intercollegiate, club and intramural athletics.
Sexual harassment, which includes acts of sexual violence and sexual assault, is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX.
ULM is committed to ensuring all students, employees and visitors feel safe and have the opportunity to benefit fully from education programs and activities.
If the university is notified of sexual harassment or violence, we will:
- Take immediate and appropriate steps to investigate the incident
- Take prompt action to end the harassment and resolve the situation
- Take appropriate steps to prevent recurrence of future incidents
