Title IX Coordinator Responsibilities

The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for

  • Educational Events: The development, scheduling, and implementation of events hosted by or supported by College leadership to raise awareness in the campus community about all forms of sex discrimination (including sexual harassment and sexual assault). These events also raise awareness about the College’s policies and procedures and reinforce to the College community that these topics are important to the College administration.
  • Rights & Responsibilities Awareness: Providing information to students and employees regarding their Title IX rights and responsibilities, including information about the resources available on and off campus, the formal and informal complaint processes, the availability of interim measures, and the ability to file a complaint with local law enforcement and complaint with the College simultaneously.
  • Title IX Training: The development, scheduling, and implementation of necessary periodic Title IX training for the College community, including students and employees.
  • Review & Assessment: Periodic review and assessment of the Colleges Title IX policies and procedures to ensure that they are clear and consolidated to the maximum extent possible to provide an efficient resource for students, faculty, and staff.
  • Annual Assessments: Coordinating the development and implementation of annual assessments (i.e. surveys) of campus climate with regard to sexual harassment and sexual violence.

Deputy Coordinators

The College also assigns Deputy Title IX Coordinators who serve as unbiased resources for involved parties, whether or not a complaint has been requested. Deputies can provide supportive measures, information related to the College’s resolution processes, the process of filing a complaint, and options to seek further support, regardless of a Complainant’s desire to make a complaint.
