Title IX Policies
Lincoln University is committed to maintaining a safe and supportive environment for all members of its community. Several University policies guide how we respond to reports of sex discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, prohibited relationships with students, and abuse of minors. Each policy is designed to uphold the principles of equity and fairness, and we encourage you to explore the links provided for detailed information.
In compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Lincoln University prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in all educational programs and activities. Title IX is enforced by the United States Department of Education and is interpreted to encompass a wide range of sex-based discrimination, including sexual harassment and sexual violence, which may obstruct an individual’s ability to fully participate in the University’s programs and activities.
