Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a law passed in 1972 that requires gender equity in educational programs that receive federal funding, stating:
“ 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.”
It is the mission of Missouri Southern State University to comply with the mandates of Title IX. Missouri Southern State University is committed to maintaining an environment of equal opportunity in all areas of university life.
