Title IX

The Department for People Operations, Success, and Opportunity is responsible for responding to reports of sexual harassment and other forms of interpersonal violence involving students and employees covered under Title IX.

What is Title IX?

Title IX, also known as Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, mandates that no person shall be excluded from participation in or discriminated against on the basis of sex in programs or activities at educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance. Title IX includes acts of sexual assault, sexual harassment, dating and domestic violence, and stalking.

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance…” 20 U.S.C. § 1681

If you are an ECU student, faculty or staff member and experience sexual harassment, the University has a system of care and support to provide you with assistance. Filing a Title IX complaint with the University is not the same as filing a police report. Completing the online incident report form is the best way for ECU to provide you with the services, resources and support available at the University.

Student Athletes requesting a Title IX Attestation should direct their request to Caroline Bevillard, Senior Associate Athletics Director, bevillardc18@ecu.edu
