Title IX
Sexual misconduct is prohibited by the College's Sexual Misconduct Policy, as well as state and federal law. There is an accompanying Formal Grievance Policy to the College's overarching Sexual Misconduct Policy, which covers a narrower sub-set of sexual harassment that must be addressed under a defined formal grievance process as required by the U.S. Department of Education. The D.O.E. recently released new Title IX regulations, creating significant changes for what now constitutes sexual harassment under Title IX and the process by which those cases are handled. We encourage you to review our policy in full and to reach out with any questions that you may have. The College will take seriously every allegation or report of sexual misconduct received. The College will not tolerate sexual misconduct and wants to make clear that sexual misconduct is reprehensible in any situation.
We encourage our campus community to speak up and report all incidents of sexual misconduct.?Reports can be made directly to the Title IX Coordinator or one of our Deputy Title IX Coordinators. All Faculty and Staff, as well as Resident Assistants and Campus Safety Work Study Students, are considered mandatory reporters and must report any sexual misconduct that they are made aware of to the College's Title IX Coordinator. In addition, we have confidential resources on our campus that you may also report to if you wish to maintain the utmost confidentiality.
For more information regarding reporting options, supportive measures that can be implemented, investigation procedures, our amnesty policy, and definitions of key terms, please review our full policy online at https://ec.edu/title-ix/.
