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.
