    KUMU IX

    Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination based on sex in schools and colleges receiving federal funding. Sex-based discrimination includes both sexual harassment and gender-based harassment. Sexual harassment is unwanted verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Gender-based harassment is unwelcome conduct based on the individual’s actual or perceived sex, and includes harassment based on gender identity and non-conformity with stereotypical notions of femininity and masculinity. Title IX also covers gender equity in school athletic programs.

    KUMU VI

    Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color or national origin in programs or activities in federal funding.

    ADA

    The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a comprehensive civil rights law that prohibits discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. To be covered by the ADA, one must have a disability, which is defined as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment.

    • Poʻomanaʻo I: ʻO ke poʻo inoa I o ka ADA e pili ana i nā kuleana o ka poʻe me ke kino kīnā ma nā wahi hana. Ma lalo o ka Title I, ʻaʻole hiki i ka mea hana ke hoʻokae i nā mea noi a me nā limahana kūpono ma ke kumu o ke kino kīnā.
    • Poʻomanaʻo II: Title II of the ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public entities. Under Title II, qualified individuals with disabilities cannot be discriminated against on the basis of their disability in services, programs and activities that are provided by public entities.​

    Pauku 504

    Pauku 504 is a civil rights law that ensures that a student with a disability has equal access to an education. It entitles students to a free and appropriate public education by providing a reasonable accommodation or modification for eligible students who are found to be “qualified disabled persons” under Section 504.
