Title IX Resources
Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities. Under Title IX, discrimination is any adverse action that unreasonably interferes with a person’s education or work environment due to the person’s sex, sex characteristics, sex stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related conditions, or parenting status.
If you think you may have been subjected to prohibited discrimination on the basis of one of the categories listed above, you have the right to file a complaint. For additional information about your rights under Title IX, including details about the complaint process please see the College’s Policy on Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity & Diversity and/or contact Amee Synnott, the College’s Title IX Coordinator, at (508) 588-9100 x1304 or asynnott@massasoit.mass.edu.
