Student Handbook Policies and Resources

Lincoln University prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, including sexual harassment, in education programs and activities. Title IX protects individuals from harassment connected to any of the academic, educational, extracurricular, athletic, and other programs, activities, or employment of schools, regardless of the location. Title IX protects both males and females from sexual harassment by any school employee, student, and a non-employee third party.

We comply with all tenets of Title IX, which protects people from harassment in an educational setting — whether that’s academic, educational, extracurricular, athletic, or employment programs and activities.


Title IX states that: "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."


 

There are people across campus who are authorized to assist and answer questions related to Title IX concerns.
