“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.” — Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972

A safe, non-discriminatory educational and work environment is consistent with Concordia’s collegewide goals for student learning and creating an environment of empowerment and respect. It is important to complete employee training and to learn more about sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual misconduct, and strategies for prevention, recovery, and support.
