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"
Federal law prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender (Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972) and disability (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990). Additionally, RIT is a fully inclusive campus, and we believe in our established values of Respect, Diversity and Pluralism.
If you have any questions regarding Title IX, you can consult the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook which provides information about, among other things, RIT's policy for prohibiting discrimination and harassment, sexual misconduct policy, the student grievance process, and the resources and services available at RIT or contact any member of our Title IX team:
