Equity & Campus Violence Policy and Procedures
Participation in intercollegiate athletics is a privilege. As such, those participating agree to abide by the rules and regulations set forth by the NCAA, the Collegiate Conference of the South, the USA South Conference, and Maryville College. These rules are comprehensive and anticipate that those who participate in athletics will demonstrate a serious commitment to their teams. Maryville offers athletics participant opportunities at the intramural, club, and intercollegiate levels.
Although Title IX prohibits sex discrimination campus-wide, it has been defined to apply to intercollegiate athletics in three specific areas: Participation, Scholarships, and Treatment of Existing Athletes and Programs. Title IX compliance requires equity, as that term has been defined under the law in each of these three areas. Maryville College believes that all student-athletes have a right to participate in an athletic program free of discrimination, including sexual harassment and retaliation. Maryville College believes in the educational value of intercollegiate athletics and as such offers a competitive NCAA Division III varsity athletics program. Maryville College is a member of the Collegiate Conference of the South and holds affiliate membership in the USA South Conference.
