Sexual Harassment in Violation of Title IX

Sexual Harassment in Violation of Title IX
 
A Title IX violation, as outlined in 34 C.F.R. § 106.30 includes,
 
  1. A District employee conditioning the provision of an aid, benefit, or service on a person’s participation in unwelcome sexual conduct;
  2. Unwelcome conduct determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the District’s education program or activity; or
  3. Sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking.
 
Pursuant to Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 106.30, a “formal complaint” for the purposes of Title IX is, “a document filed by a complainant…alleging sexual harassment against a respondent and requesting that the recipient investigate the allegation of sexual harassment” in accordance with the Title IX process. A Respondent is the individual who has been reported to be the perpetrator of conduct that could constitute sexual harassment. The Title IX investigation procedures provide specific rights to Complainants and Respondents.
 
If you experienced alleged sexual harassment and wish to file a Title IX complaint, please contact the District’s Title IX coordinator so that the investigation process can be explained to you and supportive measures can be discussed.
