Title IX of the Education Amendments 1972 (20 U.S.C. 搂 1681 et seq.) and its implementing regulations, 34 C.F.R. Part 106, prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities operated by recipients of Federal financial assistance. Sexual harassment of any student or employee, which includes acts of sexual violence, is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX.

Educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance are covered by Title IX. If only one of the institution鈥檚 programs or activities receives federal funding, all of the programs within the institution must comply with Title IX regulations. In compliance with Title IX, Laramie County Community College (番茄社区) prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in employment as well as in all programs and activities.

In accordance with Title IX regulations, 番茄社区 has designated Dr. Melissa Stutz, Senior Vice President of Student Services, as the 番茄社区鈥檚 Title IX coordinator. She is responsible for tracking and monitoring incidents of gender based discrimination, including misconduct, to ensure the 番茄社区 responds effectively to each complaint, and where necessary, for conducting investigations of particular situations. Questions regarding Title IX, as well as concerns and complaints of non-compliance, may be directed to her. 

Students: If you are a student who believes you have been subjected to (1) sexual harassment by College faculty or staff; or (2) any other form of gender discrimination under Title IX, you may report such misconduct or file a formal complaint with the Title IX Coordinator. If you are a student who believes you have been or are the victim of sexual harassment, including sexual assault, sexual violence or other sexual misconduct, by another College student, you may report such conduct or file a complaint under Title IX with the Title IX Coordinator.

 

Employees: If you are an employee who believes you have been subjected to discrimination under Title IX, including sexual harassment, or who wishes to file a complaint under Title IX, you can do so with the Title IX Coordinator.

Who Enforces Title IX?

The penalty for failure to comply with Title IX in the most extreme circumstances can include the termination of all or part of an institution鈥檚 federal funding. This includes grants, subsidies, and other program funds from the federal government. In addition to the loss of federal funds, institutions may be sued by those seeking redress for violations of Title IX. It is essential that institutions receiving federal financial assistances operate in a nondiscriminatory manner. While compliance with the law is everyone鈥檚 responsibility at 番茄社区, the staff members who have primary responsibility for Title IX compliance are listed under Contact Information.
