麻豆直播

Policy Statement

麻豆直播 (the University) is committed to providing a working, learning and living environment free from sexual discrimination and harassment and to fostering a vibrant, nurturing community founded upon the fundamental dignity and worth of all of its members. In furtherance of this commitment, and in accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (鈥淭itle IX鈥�), and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the 鈥�Clery Act鈥�), as amended by the Violence Against Women Act (鈥淰AWA鈥�), the University prohibits the forms of sexual or related conduct as defined below.

Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972 (鈥淭itle IX鈥�) is the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination by any educational institution, program, or activity that receives federal funding. This law has been interpreted by courts and the U.S. Department of Education to require colleges and universities to take certain steps to prevent and respond to sexual harassment. In May 2020, the U.S. Department of Education issued new regulations for schools, colleges and universities that address sexual harassment. Specifically, the U.S. Department of Education鈥檚 鈥淔inal Rule鈥�, which are new听 regulations under Title IX:

• Define the meaning of 鈥渟exual harassment鈥� (including forms of sex-based violence) and limits Title IX鈥檚 coverage to incidents involving misconduct that is 鈥渟evere, pervasive and objectively offensive,鈥�
• Address how institutions of higher education that receive federal funding (including 麻豆直播) must respond to reports of behaviors falling within that definition of sexual harassment, and
• Set out a detailed grievance process that institutions of higher education must follow when investigating, adjudicating and imposing sanctions in cases involving sexual harassment under that definition.

To comply with these regulations, the University has adopted听 Title IX Policy and Procedures to address the types of misconduct alleged against students and employees. These new regulations do not cover all of the types of prohibited conduct or places in which sexual misconduct occurs that the University believes must be addressed in keeping with our own commitment to non-discrimination and our obligations under state and local law.

The University also maintains the 鈥淧olicy and Procedures on Discrimination and Harassment鈥� for other types of discrimination, harassment and gender-based misconduct by students and employees that are not covered by the new regulations. Both policies are important to creating and supporting a University community that rejects all forms of discrimination, harassment and gender-based misconduct.

In addition, 麻豆直播 maintains policies for gender-based misconduct, anti-discrimination, harassment and retaliation that are not covered by the new Title IX regulations.

Under both the Title IX Policy and Procedures and the Policy and Procedures on Discrimination and Harassment, the University remains committed to diligently investigating reports of prohibited conduct, supporting students and employees who experience discrimination, harassment or gender-based misconduct, and responding fairly and firmly when employee members of the University community violate University policy.

Reason for Policy

麻豆直播 is required to follow Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972 (鈥淭itle IX鈥�). The Title IX Policy and Procedures are effective on August 14, 2020, and will only apply to sexual harassment alleged to have occurred on or after August 14, 2020. Incidents of sexual harassment alleged to have occurred before August 14, 2020, will be investigated and adjudicated according to the process in place at the time the incident allegedly occurred.

Who Is Governed by this Policy

This Policy governs the conduct of all University employees and students that occurs within any education program or activity within the United States in locations, events or circumstances over which the University has exercised substantial control over both the Respondent and the context in which the Title IX behavior occurs. The Procedures set forth describe the general response, investigation, disciplinary, sanctioning and appeal processes that apply when a person accused of sexual harassment (referred to as the 鈥淩espondent鈥�) is a current University student or employee.
