Title IX
Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, is dedicated to teaching that meets the highest standards of excellence; to conducting research that breaks new ground; and to turning knowledge into solutions for local, national, and global communities. As it was at our founding in 1766, the heart of our mission is preparing students to become productive members of society and good citizens of the world. Thus, sexual harassment, including physical sexual misconduct, will not be tolerated.
The U.S. Department of Education and its Office for Civil Rights (OCR) emphasize the importance of providing all students with an educational environment free from discrimination. The sexual harassment of students, including physical sexual misconduct, interferes with students’ right to receive an education free from discrimination and, in the case of physical sexual misconduct, may be a crime. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX), and its regulations, prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex and/or gender in education programs or activities operated by recipients of Federal financial assistance.
