Title IX

Title ix

"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied benefets of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." 20 U.S.C. 1681(a).

SWMetro has a process for making a complaint of sexual harassment or discrimination and a grievance procedure that may be obtained from the Title IX Coordinator. 

All reports are treated with the high level of seriousness and sensitivity they deserve. Retaliation against any person for making a report or participating in an investigation is strictly prohibited.

Title IX Coordinators are not a confidential source of support. While they address complaints with sensitivity and will not share any information except on a need-to-know basis and as required by federal law and regulations, absolute confidentiality is not possible. SWMetro will respond to all complaints of sexual or gender-based harassment or misconduct in a manner that is supportive and fair to all parties.
