Sinclair Community College Title IX Sexual Harassment and Sex Discrimination Policy and Procedures

Notice of Non-Discrimination

“No individual in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” – Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and its implementing regulation at 34 C.F.R. Part 106 (Title IX)

Sinclair Community College is committed to providing an academic, work, and study environment free of inappropriate and disrespectful sexual conduct and communication in any form. Sinclair will conduct its programs, services, and activities in accordance with applicable federal laws, including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination (SaVE) Act, as well as state and local laws, and Sinclair policies.

Title IX Sexual Harassment and Sex Discrimination Policy and Procedures Adopted
On May 6, 2020 the U.S. Department of Education issued the current Title IX regulations that made significant changes to the former Title IX policy and procedures used by Sinclair College.  These regulations, effective August 14, 2020, limited the scope and jurisdiction under which an individual may file a complaint, narrowed the definitions of prohibited conduct, and used a different approach to due process requiring that new grievance procedures be adopted and published by the College. They were a significant shift from the former Title IX processes.

As always, Sinclair’s Title IX Office works to support a safe, respectful and healthy learning and working environment for all students, employees, and other College community members. With those principles in mind, Sinclair has aligned the College's Title IX policy and procedures with the mandates in the current regulations. Sinclair’s President established new Title IX Sexual Harassment and Sex Discrimination Procedures
to comply with applicable statutes, regulations, and official guidance. Sinclair’s Board of Trustees adopted the current Sexual Harassment and Sex Discrimination Policy on September 15, 2020 to carry out Sinclair’s obligations under Title IX and the new regulations.

Sinclair’s responsibilities and programs for preventing sexual harassment and sex discrimination and addressing it when it occurs are coordinated by the Sinclair Title IX Coordinator.  Resources are available for students and employees to address concerns pertaining to sex discrimination, including sexual harassment.
