Title IX Documentation
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and the federal regulations adopted under the act, prohibit sex discrimination in the employment setting. The regulations define sexual harassment in the workplace as a distinct type of employment discrimination on the basis of sex. In 1980, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued guidelines defining sexual harassment and stipulating that sexual harassment in the workplace is a violation of Title VII. Situations in which both parties are employees may be resolved through the process outlined in the Employee Handbook or may be resolved through the Title IX process depending on the alleged Prohibited Conduct.
