Title IX
Title IX
Welcome to the Title IX website, a resource on sexual misconduct for students, faculty, staff, and visitors who are part of the Mohave Community College community. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 states: “No person 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”.
Mohave Community College (MCC) is committed to providing a learning and working environment that promotes personal integrity, civility, and mutual respect in an environment free of sexual misconduct and discrimination. Sexual discrimination violates an individual’s fundamental rights and personal dignity. MCC considers sexual discrimination in all its forms to be serious sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sexual violence by employees, students, or third parties. (Title 20 U.S.C. Sections 1681-1688).
Notice of Nondiscrimination
Mohave Community College seeks to comply with all federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances prohibiting sex discrimination in public post-secondary education institutions.
MCC does not discriminate against any employee, applicant for employment, student, or applicant for admission on the basis of actual or perceived sex.
This Policy covers sex discrimination in both employment and access to educational opportunities. Therefore, any member of the MCC community whose acts deny, deprive, unreasonably interfere with, or limit the education or employment, residential and/or social access, benefits, and/or opportunities of any member of the MCC community, guest, or visitor on the basis of that person’s actual or perceived sex, is in violation of this Policy.
The College will promptly and effectively address any such discrimination of which it has Knowledge/Notice using the resolution process in the Sex Discrimination, Sex-Based Harassment, and Retaliation Procedures.
Title IX and the Sexual Misconduct Policy
The college prohibits all forms of sexual misconduct by students and employees – MCC Policy #5.112.
Who can I contact about Sexual Misconduct?
Tell a trusted person about the incident. Contact someone from MCC’s Title IX Team listed to the right. You may also contact a counselor through the Student Support Program via phone (1-866-329-4148). The Community Resource Guide is another helpful tool. The Campus Dean’s Office should be notified and he or she will assist the student in reporting the incident to local law enforcement.
All students and employees are encouraged to be aware of situations that may result in a sex offense (forced or non-forced) involving both known and unknown assailants. Students or others found to have engaged in acts that constitute sexual assault, attempted sexual assault, or other related sex crimes, whether forced or non-forced, will be subject to appropriate disciplinary and legal processes to the fullest extent allowed by law.
In instances where students are involved in disciplinary procedures, both the accused and accusers are entitled to the same opportunities for representation and shall be informed of the outcome of any disciplinary procedure related to such alleged assaults.
