TTI Notice of Nondiscrimination and Abuse

Title VI

It is the policy of The Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) to comply with the regulations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended and other nondiscrimination laws and authorities, that include regulations relative to nondiscrimination in federally-assisted programs of the Department of Transportation (DOT) Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the Federal Highway Administration’s Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations 200. TTI does not discriminate against any person on the ground of race, color or national origin.

In addition to Title VI, TTI will not discriminate under other statutes that afford legal protection on the basis of sex, age or disability. TTI will not discriminate in the selection or retention of subconsultants, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment. TTI will not participate either directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by 49 CFR, Part 21.5.

In all solicitations, either by competitive bidding or negotiation made by TTI for work to be performed under a subcontract, including procurements of materials or equipment, each potential subcontractor or supplier shall be notified of the contractor’s obligations under the contract and the Regulations relative to nondiscrimination on the ground of race, color or national origin. TTI will include the necessary nondiscrimination provisions in every subcontract; including procurements of materials and leases of equipment, unless exempt by the Regulations, or directives issued pursuant thereto.

TTI ensures nondiscrimination in all programs and activities in accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. If you need more information or special assistance for persons with disabilities or limited English proficiency, please contact the Human Resources Department.

Title IX

Title IX of the Education Amendments and Texas A&M Transportation Institute prohibit discrimination in educational programs and activities based upon sex.

Sexual harassment, including sexual violence, is a form of sex discrimination and is therefore prohibited under Title IX. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when this conduct is so severe, persistent or pervasive that it unreasonably interferes with a person’s work or educational performance or creates an intimidating or hostile environment.

The following are examples of types of conduct that may constitute sexual harassment:

• Inappropriate touching, patting, or hugging
• Nonconsensual sexual activity
• Invasion of sexual privacy
• Obscene phone calls, texts, emails, photographs or gestures

Any person (student, employee, or public) who believes that discriminatory practices have been engaged in based upon sex may discuss their concerns and file a complaint of possible violations of Title IX.

Texas A&M Transportation Institute will promptly and thoroughly investigate all complaints of discrimination, sexual harassment, and related retaliation in accordance with applicable federal and state laws (including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972), Texas A&M System Policy 08.01 and Regulation 08.01.01.

An individual who believes that he or she has been subjected to discrimination, sexual harassment and/or related retaliation should promptly report the incident(s) to her/his supervisor, the Director of Human Resources or the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (214-661-9600). If you are victim of sexual assault or sexual violence, or know someone who has been a victim of a sexual assault or sexual violence, you should immediately contact the Texas A&M University Police Department at (979) 845-2345 in addition to notify the Title IX Coordinator listed below.
