Failure to Comply.

Failure to comply with Title IX can result in serious consequences, including the potential loss of all or part of an institution’s federal funding- such as grants, subsidies, and other federal program support. Beyond financial penalties, institutions may also face legal action from individuals seeking remedies for Title IX violations. It is crucial for any institution receiving federal financial assistance to operate in a nondiscriminatory manner. Ensuring compliance with Title IX is a shared responsibility across the entire University community.
