Title IX
Title IX is a landmark federal civil rights law that was passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972 and prohibits sex based discrimination in education. Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in educational programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. Consistent with Title IX, Chaminade University of Honolulu is committed to maintaining a safe and inclusive climate for study and work and an atmosphere free from discrimination, harassment, and violence. As such, the Title IX Office is also committed to responding promptly and effectively to reports of sex based discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, and stalking. Title IX and its implementing federal regulations prohibit discrimination based on sex or gender in the University’s programs and activities. Higher Education issues addressed by Title IX include:
Notice of Nondiscrimination: Chaminade University of Honolulu is committed to providing a learning, working and living environment that promotes respect and the dignity of all people and is free from all forms of sex based discrimination, sexual misconduct, and harassment in any form including, but not limited to, gender based violence such as sexual harassment and sexual assault, stalking, and domestic and dating violence. These behaviors are harmful to the well-being of our community members, the learning/working environment, and collegial relationships among our students, faculty, and staff. All forms of prohibited conduct under this policy are regarded as serious University offenses, and violations will result in discipline, including the possibility of separation from Chaminade University. State and federal laws also address conduct that may meet Chaminade University’s definitions of prohibited conduct, and criminal prosecution may take place independently of any disciplinary action instituted by Chaminade University.
