The College prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation. 

Discrimination is defined as treating members of a protected category less favorably because of their actual or perceived membership in that category or as having a policy or practice that adversely impacts the members of one protected category more than others.

Discrimination on the Basis of Sex is defined as discrimination on the basis of sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity. 

Assistance

If a student or employee has concerns about possible sex-based discrimination they can seek the assistance of the Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator can provide adjustments to ensure that students and employees have access to safe and non-discriminatory environments, facilitate informal resolutions to concerns of possible sex-based discrimination or engage in a formal complaint process to determine if appropriate disciplinary action is needed.
