STATEMENT OF NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY
United Career Institute (The institution) does not discriminate on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity in the education programs or activities that it operates, and it is required by Title IX of the Education Act and the Regulations of the Department of Education (34 C.F.R. § 106, et. seq.) not to discriminate in such a manner. The requirement not to discriminate in the institution’s education programs or activities extends to admission to the Institution and employment opportunities with the Institution. In addition to federal law, the State of Pennsylvania requires all postsecondary institutions located within the Commonwealth to adopt a clear, understandable written policy on sexual harassment and sexual violence that informs victims of their rights under federal and state law, including the crime victim’s bill of rights.
Pursuant to this policy and the procedures stated in this policy, the institution must respond to alleged incidents of sexual harassment, as defined below that occurred in the institution’s education program or activity, against a person in the United States.
