Title IX Talk: Jane Bell
Every month this year we will be talking about Title IX and the impact it has had as we celebrate its 50th anniversary. This month we talked with Greenville University Assistant Professor Jane Bell, who was in lock step with Title IX since its inception.
Title IX Facts
- Title IX is a federal civil rights law that says no institution of higher education can discriminate against anybody on the basis of their sex and gender. Initially drafted to ensure equal opportunities for women in sports, today Title IX applies to all forms of sexual harassment and assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.
- Did you know Title IX doesn't just apply to undergraduate students — faculty, graduate students, staff, and visitors are also protected under the law.
- The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights enforces Title IX and investigates complaints filed by students when a university’s response falls short.
