WHAT IS TITLE IX?
Title IX is a federal civil rights law passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972 that protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance.
Title IX applies to any institution receiving federal financial assistance from the Department of Education. Educational programs and activities that receive federal funds from the Department of Education must operate in a nondiscriminatory manner and may not retaliate against any person making a complaint under Title IX.
COLUMBIA COLLEGE HOLLYWOOD TITLE IX POLICY
It is the policy of Columbia College Hollywood to prohibit all forms of discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
Title IX states, “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.”
This prohibition against discrimination on the basis of sex applies to all persons participating in college programs or activities, regardless of the individual’s sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or gender expression, including third-parties.
The college has designated a Title IX Coordinator who assists with various Title IX implementation activities that involve faculty, staff, and students on all campuses.
The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for coordinating and implementing a Title IX Complaint Process that is prompt, fair, impartial, and equitable from the time a report is made, or when the college knows about prohibited behavior, until the final result.

At CCH, we believe it is important to take a stand by demonstrating our willingness to promote and inspire systemic change. We must speak honestly and truthfully to the ugliness of racism that permeates throughout our society today. It may be an uncomfortable conversation for some, but it is an all-too familiar reality for anyone living in this country with black or brown skin. Hiding from it, ignoring it, or being silent about it will not make it go away.
