Title IX

 

What is Title IX? 

 

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.” The regulations regarding Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 can be found on the Department of Justice website.

Our College's Title IX Team is charged with monitoring compliance with federal, state and institutional policies. This includes helping to maintain a safe and caring campus environment through prevention education and the investigation of complaints of gender-based discrimination and sexual misconduct.

The College Sexual Misconduct Policy can be found here.

 

Confidential Employees

BridgeValley has employees who are available to offer victims of sexual assault support and guidance in a confidential environment. Individuals may choose this option if they want to talk about the incident but do not want any further action to be taken. Confidential employees can provide individuals with both immediate and long-term help. They will listen, and help access additional assistance and explain options for obtaining additional support.
