WHAT IS TITLE IX?

Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination on the basis of sex in an educational institution’s programs or activities, including employment, academic, educational, extracurricular, and athletic activities (both on and off-campus).

The protections of Title IX extend to sexual assault and misconduct that impairs or interferes with access to equitable educational and employment opportunities. It applies to all members of the campus community, including students, District employees, individuals doing business with the campus, those using campus facilities, and those who engage in volunteer activities.

• You have the right to fair and equitable treatment and shall not be discriminated against based on your sex.
• You have the right to be provided with an equitable opportunity to participate in all extracurricular activities, including athletics.
• You have the right to inquire of the athletic director at your school or appropriate District personnel as to the athletic opportunities offered by the school.
• You have the right to apply for athletic scholarships.
• You have the right to receive equitable treatment and benefits in the provision of all the following related to athletics, if any are provided by the District:
  • Equipment and supplies;
  • Scheduling of games and practices;
  • Transportation and daily allowances;
  • Access to tutoring;
  • Coaching;
  • Locker rooms;
  • Practice and competitive facilities;
  • Medical and training facilities and services; and
  • Publicity.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU’VE BEEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED

Go to a safe place. If you are in fear of your safety, call the police (911) immediately, especially if the assailant is still nearby. For an assault on campus, call Campus Safety at 714-992-7777.

Seek emotional care and support. Don’t try to deal with this situation alone. Call someone you feel you can talk to. The Rape Crisis Hotline has counselors available 24 hours a day at (714) 957-2737 or (949) 831-9110.

Get medical attention as soon as possible to assess and treat physical injuries you may have sustained and to collect evidence of the assault.

Help preserve evidence. You do not have to decide immediately whether or not you want to pursue a criminal complaint.

Consider reporting the assault to the campus Title IX Coordinator and/or to the police. Telling the police does not commit you to further legal action.

This experience was NOT your fault. Reach out for support, because you are not alone.
