V. TITLE IX POLICY Word of Life Bible Institute is committed to providing a safe environment free from discrimination. We believe that all people are created in the image of God and are equal. With this in mind, the Bible Institute does not discriminate on the basis of sex in our education programs or activities, including recruitment, admissions, distribution of financial assistance, hiring practices, employment or promotion. This echoes Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any education program or any activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” The Bible Institute is required to comply with Title IX and the U.S. Department of Education’s implementing regulations. The following seeks to clearly define terms and set forth policies to educate our campus community and help ensure that our campus remains a safe environment for all to learn and grow in their walk with the Lord. The Bible Institute has designated the following individuals to coordinate our efforts in this area:
