Title IX

Sexual Harassment and Notice of Nondiscrimination (Title IX)

Graham Hospital School of Nursing adheres to all federal and state civil rights laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination in institutions of higher education. These include Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”), the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (“VAWA”), and the Illinois Preventing Sexual Violence in Higher Education Act. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Illinois Human Rights Act are two other laws that also prohibit sex discrimination.

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs and activities. Under final Title IX regulations, effective August 14, 2020, discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment, including sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking.

Notice of Nondiscrimination

Graham Hospital School of Nursing does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the education program or activity that it operates. The School is required by Title IX not to discriminate in such a manner. The requirement not to discriminate in the education program or activity extends to employment and admission. Inquiries about the application of Title IX and its implementing regulations may be referred to the Title IX Coordinator, the United States Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, or both (see below).
