Title IX

Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972

“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 program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

Notice of Non-Discrimination                                                                                                              Carl Albert State College, in compliance with Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other Federal Laws and Regulations, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, disability or status as a veteran in any of its policies, practices, or procedures. This includes but is not limited to admission, employment, financial aid, and educational services.

Both Title IX and CASC Policy prohibit discrimination in services or benefits offered by the College based upon gender.

Sexual harassment is a form of gender discrimination and therefore prohibited under Title IX.  Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.

The following are examples of types of conduct that may constitute sexual harassment:

  • Inappropriate touching, patting, or pinching
  • Physical assault or coerced sexual activity
  • Demands or subtle pressure for sexual favors
  • Obscene phone calls, texts, email, or gestures

Any person (student, faculty, staff, or guest) who believes that discriminatory practices have been engaged in based upon gender may discuss these concerns and file informal or formal complaints of possible violations of Title IX with the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Coordinator.

It is the policy of this college to provide equal employment and educational opportunity on the basis of merit without discrimination because of age, race, ethnicity, color, sex, religion, national origin, veterans’ status, or disability.

Every instructor helped me grow in knowledge and confidence as a non-traditional, first generation student seking my degree. Because of my positive experience at Carl Albert, I was prepared to seek my bachelor's and master's degrees and now work in education myself investing in students."
"Before college, I was out of school for 10 years. It was a fresh new start, I learned the basics again, math and more. I’m able to apply my knowledge towards my future and job. My brain is filled with information to understand the every world we live in."
