Resolution Provisions. A. University Written Guidance on Non-Discrimination and Significant Assistance 1. By January 29, 2016, the University will adopt written guidance, consistent with the requirements of Title IX, stating that it will not provide significant assistance to any program, agency or organization that unlawfully discriminates against students or participants on the basis of sex. For the purposes of this agreement, the term “significant assistance” is defined as the creation of a substantial relationship between the University and another entity such that the activity can be fairly considered the University’s activity. The factors to be evaluated in determining this issue include, but are not limited to: a. direct or indirect financial support provided by the University; b. provision of tangible resources such as staff, facilities, and/or materials at no cost or reduced cost; c. intangible benefits such as the lending of recognition and approval; d. selectively providing privileges and resources to the other entity; and e. whether the relationship is occasional and temporary or permanent and long-term. 2. The written guidance will specify that, in order to receive significant assistance from the University, a program, agency or organization must ensure that: a. students, participants, employees or members are not subjected to unlawful discrimination on the basis of sex in the operation and activities of the program, agency or organization; and b. the activities of the program, agency or organization provide substantially equal opportunities for both male and female participants, consistent with the requirements of Title IX.
