Title ix resources
Title IX is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity.
Vanderbilt receives federal funds and so must comply with Title IX. Among other things, this means that sexual harassment and assault are prohibited.
If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted or harassed (or if you or someone you know has been subject to other kinds of sex discrimination) you can access a variety of Vanderbilt's resources for filing a report and/or acquiring support:
