  • LGBTQI+ Student Rights

    Harassment and discrimination against LGBTQI+ students is unlawful. All students, including LGBTQI+ students, are protected by federal laws, including Title IX (the federal civil rights statute that prohibits sex discrimination in education), and the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Despite this, many LGBTQI+ students still experience harassment and discrimination simply because of who they are, in addition to being targeted by discriminatory state laws that aim to take away the federal rights they are entitled to. Here’s what you need to know.
