COMPLAINTS ALLEGING SEXUAL HARRASSMENT (INCLUDING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT)
Anyone who believes they have experienced, witnessed or received a report of sexual harassment is strongly encouraged to report the incident to the one of the District’s Title IX Coordinators, a District administrator, or any District employee with whom the person is comfortable. District employees receiving a report of or witnessing sexual harassment are required to report it to the Title IX Coordinator.
Upon receiving a report of sexual harassment, the Title IX Coordinator will promptly contact the alleged victim(s) to discuss the availability of supportive measures, inform the them of their right to file a formal complaint and explain the process for filing a formal complaint.
A Formal Title IX Complaint Form is available HERE. A formal complaint, with the complainant’s physical or digital signature, may be filed with the Title IX Coordinator in person, by mail, or by email. If someone is unable to put their complaint in writing due to conditions such as disability or illiteracy, District staff will assist them in filling a complaint.
Upon receipt of a report of sexual harassment, the Title IX Coordinator will promptly take appropriate steps to address the allegations consistent with the applicable procedures. The procedures applicable to Title IX sexual harassment complaints are set forth in 4119.12/4219.12/4319.12 (Personnel) and AR 5145.71 (Students).
Reports of sexual harassment by non-employees, which are not covered by the definition of Title IX Sexual Harassment, will be addressed in accordance with AR 1312.3 - Uniform Complaint Procedures and in accordance with AR 4030 - Nondiscrimination in Employment for employees. The determination of whether the allegations meet the definition of Title IX Sexual Harassment under Title IX will be made by the District’s Title IX Coordinator.
