Title IX also prohibits retaliation for asserting such claims of discrimination. The colleges have designated Title IX Coordinators, listed on the Title IX webpage, in handbooks, and on the CSB/SJU Human Rights website to coordinate the College's compliance with and response to inquiries concerning Title IX. A person may also file a written complaint with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights regarding an alleged violation of Title IX by visiting the U.S. Department of Education website or by calling 1-800-421-3481.
