Intellectual Property Policy

The Institute’s Research Misconduct Policy.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. Title IX applies, with a few specific exceptions, to all aspects of federally funded education programs or activities. In addition to traditional educational institutions such as colleges, universities, and elementary and secondary schools, Title IX also applies to any education or training program operated by a recipient of federal financial assistance. Title IX and its implementing federal regulations prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in its programs and activities.

The Institute for Advanced Study is committed to maintaining an educational, working, and living environment free from discrimination and harassment, and fostering an environment where all individuals may pursue their studies, work, careers and social interactions without being subjected to sexual misconduct. 

UPDATE

On April 29, 2024, the United States Department of Education (DOE) published its final Title IX regulations (2024 Regulations) which, by its terms, were scheduled to take effect on August 1, 2024.  Many district courts have issued injunctions prohibiting the enforcement of the 2024 Regulations. On August 16, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the DOE's application for a partial stay of those injunctions. In light of the legal uncertainty, the Institute for Advanced Study will continue to apply its current Title IX Policy, until the status of the 2024 Regulations is clarified by the Courts.

The Institute remains resolute to our Non-discrimination Policy below:

As expressly prescribed in 1930 in its founding statements, the Institute for Advanced Study admits scholars with all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to all scholars at IAS without consideration of any race, color, gender, and national and ethnic origin.  Accordingly, today IAS reiterates that in the appointment of faculty and staff and administration of its educational and acceptance policies as well as in all other IAS administered programs, no person shall be discriminated against on account of race, religion, color, disability, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or national and ethnic origin.
