What is Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects students, employees, applicants
for admission and employment, and other persons from all forms of sex discrimination,
including discrimination based on gender identity or failure to conform to stereotypical
notions of masculinity or femininity.
All students (as well as other persons) at Horry-Georgetown Technical College are protected by Title IX—regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, part- or full-time status, disability, race, or national origin—in all aspects of educational programs and activities.
