Title VI
TTUHSC Commitment and Values
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) is committed to maintaining
an educational, working, and
visiting environment free from discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct.
In accordance with Title VI,
Title VII, Title IX, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), and other applicable laws,
TTUHSC prohibits
discrimination based on sex, race, color, national origin, and other protected characteristics.
Title VI prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, and shared
ancestry or ethnic characteristics
in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance.
A Title VI violation occurs when unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic
creates a hostile
environment that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to limit or deny a person’s ability
to participate in or benefit
from a TTUHSC program or activity.

harassment, and

a report.
