Welcome
It is the policy of Nicholls State University to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 which prohibits discrimination (including sexual harassment and sexual violence) based on sex in the University’s educational programs and activities. Title IX also prohibits retaliation for asserting or otherwise participating in claims of sex discrimination. This compliance is reflected in all policies, procedures, and protocols referenced in this Policy Statement Document.
If you or someone you know has experienced sexual harassment, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, or any other forms of sexual misconduct, the university strongly encourages you to report. Reporting the incident means that you have choices to make about what the next steps look like. For some people, reporting is to ensure that your experience is recognized; for others, reporting is a means to get the support you need to feel safe and healthy; or, reporting can be a way to initiate our conduct process because you want to hold whoever harmed you accountable for their behavior.

TITLE IX
Nicholls State University does not discriminate on the basis of sex or gender in any of its education or employment programs and activities, and does not tolerate discrimination or harassment on the basis of sex or gender.
