The Policy Against Harassment and Sex Discrimination establishes a comprehensive framework for addressing and preventing sex discrimination and sexual harassment as defined under Title IX of the Higher Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S. C. § 1681 et seq. (“Title IX”), as well as other forms of prohibited discrimination and sex-based harassment not covered by Title IX. This policy outlines clear definitions of prohibited conduct (Title IX and non-Title IX) and provides two structured grievance procedures (Title IX and non-Title IX) to ensure prompt, fair, and equitable processes for reporting and resolving complaints, while fostering a culture of support, equity, and access that values respect, dignity, and safety for all.
