Support Services for a Safe and Fair Campus Community

Kennesaw State University is committed to maintaining a safe and equitable environment through its Title IX/Sexual Misconduct Policy. Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in educational institutions, and KSU addresses violations under this policy through its comprehensive Sexual Misconduct Policy. Support services, including Student Health Services, Counseling and Psychological Services, and the SAFE Center, offer confidential resources for those affected and those reporting. For immediate assistance or more information, contact the Title IX Coordinator, Dr. Camille Cartwright, or explore additional resources like the Security and Fire Safety Report to stay informed.

Title IX/Sexual Misconduct Policy

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 was the first comprehensive federal law to prohibit sex discrimination against students and employees of educational institutions. Educational institutions that receive federal funding are required under Title IX to provide equal opportunities for members of both sexes. Title IX states, in pertinent part:

No person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

KSU uses the term sexual misconduct to address allegations and violations of Title IX. 

KSU follows the USG's Sexual Misconduct Policy. For more information visit: Board of Regents Policy Manual: 6.7 Sexual Misconduct Policy

Standards for Institutional Student Conduct Investigation and Disciplinary Proceedings, USG Board of Regents 4.6.5, can be reviewed at: Board of Regents Policy Manual: 4.6 Discipline of Students

For detailed information on Sexual Misconduct and Interpersonal Violence, please visit Tell KSU. The Title IX Coordinator and/or Assistant Secretary for the Department of Education can answer questions.
