We believe that education is for everyone and should be free of discrimination, physical intimidation, emotional exploitation, and sexual harassment or misconduct.
Students are encouraged to immediately report any criminal action, incident of sexual abuse, or emergency occurring on campus to an instructor, administrator, or any other employee of the school. Students may also report any misconduct anonymously here.
If the reported incident cannot be resolved by school administration, additional assistance will be obtained by contacting local police and/or other emergency responders as necessary. Incident reports are kept confidential.
Even if a student or their parent/guardian does not want to file a complaint or does not request that the school take action, if a school knows or reasonably should know about possible sexual harassment or sexual violence, it must promptly investigate to determine what occurred and take appropriate steps to resolve the situation.
The Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 states that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sexual violence, as that term is used in this document, refers to physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person’s will or where a person is incapable of giving consent (e.g., due to the student’s age, use of drugs or alcohol, or because a disability prevents the student from having the capacity to give consent). A number of different acts fall into the category of sexual violence, including rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, sexual abuse, and sexual coercion. Sexual violence can be carried out by school employees, other students, or third parties. All such acts of sexual violence are prohibited by Title IX.
Under Title IX, federally funded schools must ensure that students of all ages are not denied or limited in their ability to participate in or benefit from the school’s educational programs or activities on the basis of sex. A school violates a student’s rights under Title IX regarding student-on-student sexual violence when the following conditions are met: (1) the alleged conduct is sufficiently serious to limit or deny a student’s ability to participate in or benefit from the school’s educational program, (i.e. creates a hostile environment); and (2) the school, upon notice, fails to take prompt and effective steps reasonably calculated to end the sexual violence, eliminate the hostile environment, prevent its recurrence, and, as appropriate, remedy its effects.
Yes. Title IX protects all students at federally funded institutions from sex discrimination, including sexual violence. Any student can experience sexual violence: from elementary to professional school students; male and female students; straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students; part-time and full-time students; students with and without disabilities; and students of different races and national origins.
