Title IX

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”

Title IX is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. 

Title IX benefits both males and females and is at the heart of efforts to create gender equitable schools. The law requires institutions to maintain polices, practices and programs that do not discriminate against anyone based upon sex. Arkansas State University is dedicated to addressing any incidences of sexual discrimination, including sexual harassment or sexual violence with prompt action and equitable review. Individuals with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact a Title IX coordinator. The university has designated a Title IX coordinator for each campus.

Arkansas State University-Beebe does not discriminate on the basis of sex in any education program or activity that it operates. Furthermore, Arkansas State University-Beebe is subject to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and is therefore required by Title IX and 34 C.F.R. Part 106 not to discriminate in such a manner. This requirement extends to admissions and employment with the university. Inquiries about the application of Title IX or 34 C.F.R. Part 106 to Arkansas State University-Beebe may be referred to Arkansas State University-Beebe’s Title IX coordinator, to the assistant secretary for civil rights for the U.S. Department of Education, or both. Arkansas State University-Beebe’s Title IX coordinator holds the title vice chancellor for student services and may be contacted as follows:

Any person may report sex discrimination, including sexual harassment (whether or not the person reporting is the person alleged to be the victim of conduct that could constitute sex discrimination or sexual harassment), in person, by phone or by email using the contact information provided above or by any other means that results in the Title IX coordinator receiving the person’s verbal or written report. Such a report may be made at any time (including during non-business hours) by using the telephone number or email address, or by mail to the office address, provided above.

Arkansas State University is committed to providing an educational and work environment for its students, faculty and staff that is free from sexual discrimination.
