This is a graphic showing the words Point Park University does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its education programs, activities, or employment practices. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX), 20 U.S.C. §§ 1681 et seq., and its implementing regulations, 34 C.F.R. Part 106, prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities operated by recipients of Federal financial assistance and requires the school not to discriminate.

Sexual Harassment is conduct on the basis of sex that satisfies one of the following:

  • An employee of the recipient conditioning the provision of an aid, benefit, or service of the recipient on an individual’s participation in unwelcome sexual conduct (i.e. quid pro quo);
  • Unwelcome conduct determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the University’s education program or activity;
  • Sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence or stalking as defined in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

Sexual harassment is a matter of particular concern to an academic community in which students, faculty and staff are related by strong bonds of intellectual dependence and trust.

Any inquiries or complaints related to Title IX can be made by contacting Stephanie Stark Poling, Interim Title IX Coordinator at 412-392-8158, sstarkpoling@pointpark.edu,  or 201 Wood Street, 104A Student Center, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
