STATEMENT OF NON-DISCRIMINATION

In accordance with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Title IX of the Higher Education Act of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, it is the policy of Aveda Institute Maine that no person, upon the basis of race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, religion, creed or faith, sex or age shall be excluded from participation in, denied privileges of, or be subjected to discrimination in any educational program in the school.

Title IX

Title IX prohibits sexual harassment and sexual violence. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities. All public and private elementary and secondary schools, school districts, colleges, and universities receiving any federal funds must comply with Title IX. Under Title IX, discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment or sexual violence, such as rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, and sexual coercion.
