Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination in education programs and activities at all colleges and universities that receive federal funding. Sex discrimination includes sexual harassment and sexual assault and violence. Sex discrimination, including sex and gender-based violence, is never acceptable and is a violation of College of DuPage as well as state and federal law.
College of DuPage’s Title IX services include
- Maintaining an institutional commitment to non-discrimination. College of DuPage is committed to maintaining a respectful and professional academic and work environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. This includes having an environment free from unlawful sexual misconduct and interpersonal violence. This applies to all settings and activities of the College, whether on campus property or off, if the misconduct adversely affects the health, safety, or security of any member of the college community or the interests of the college. This covers all students, employees and other individuals who have a relationship with College of DuPage that enables the College to exercise some control over the individual’s conduct in places and activities that relate to the College’s work.
- Educating the campus community and disseminating established Sexual Harassment procedures and best practices. College of DuPage does this to preserve campus safety and ensure compliance with federal laws, including the Campus Save Act in against sex discrimination, including sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.
