TITLE IX OFFICE Title IX is a segment of federal law—Education Amendments of 1972—that forbids exclusion on the basis of gender from any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. UT Austin does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its education programs and activities, and it encourages any student or non-student who thinks that he or she has been subjected to sex discrimination, sexual harassment (including sexual violence) or sexual misconduct by another student, member of the faculty or staff, or campus visitor or contractor, to immediately report the incident.
