Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S. Code ? 1681) mandates that no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

Sex/Gender discrimination violates an individual's fundamental rights and personal dignity. AUM considers sex/gender discrimination in any of its forms to be a serious offense.

Let's Talk About Consent

Affirmative consent is a knowing, voluntary, and mutual agreement among all participants to engage in sexual activity.

Consent to any sexual act or prior consensual sexual activity between or with any party does not constitute consent to any other sexual act.

Consent may be initially given but can be withdrawn at any time.

Consent cannot be given when a person is incapacitated caused by a lack of consciousness or being asleep, intoxication, physically or mentally incapable, or if an individual otherwise cannot consent.
