 Understand airport design and planning concepts
 Apply design standards
 Visit a local airfield
 Interact with airport professionals

Sexual Discrimination
Title IX is a federal law that provides that no person be excluded on the basis of sex from participation in, be
denied benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity. Both Title IX and
university policy make clear that sexual violence and harassment based on sex is prohibited. An individual who
believes they have been subjected to sexual violence or harassed on the basis of sex can seek support, including
counseling and academic support, from the university. If you or someone you know has been harassed on the
basis of sex or sexually assaulted, you can find information and resources at
https://sexualviolenceprevention.asu.edu/faqs.

As a mandated reporter, I am obligated to report any information I become aware of regarding alleged acts of
sexual discrimination, including sexual violence and dating violence. ASU Counseling Services,
