is
a
federal
law
under
the
Department
of
Education’s
1972
amendment
(amending
the
 Higher
Education
Act
of
1965)
that
protects
all
individuals
from
discrimination
based
on
sex
in
 educational
programs
or
activities.


These
include
but,
are
not
limited
to
sex‐based
 discrimination
in
sports,
against
pregnant
and
parenting
students,
or
women
in
STEM
programs
 (science,
technology,
engineering
and
math).
It
also
addresses
sexual
harassment,
gender‐ based
discrimination
and
sexual
violence.
Sexual
violence
covers
attempted
or
completed
rape
 or
sexual
assault,
as
well
as
sexual
harassment,
intimate
partner
violence,
stalking,
 exhibitionism,
verbal
or
physical
sexuality‐based
threats
or
abuse,
and
voyeurism.

 In
compliance
with
Title
IX,
Wesley

does
not
deny
or

any
student

the
ability
 to
participate
in
or
benefit
from
any
program
offered
by
the

to
investigate
and
adjudicate
reports
of
sex
 discrimination,
sexual
assaults,
and
harassment
in
a
prompt,
thorough,
and
impartial
manner.

 It
also
requires
institutions
to
establish
proactive
measures
ensure
a
campus
culture
free
of
sex
 discrimination.

These
would
include
