Title IX

The Title IX Coordinator or Deputies can work with individuals who are involved in a report of sexual misconduct violation to ensure they are safe and able to fully participate in classes, activities and the residential experience. These are called supportive measures. Individuals who are accused of violating the policy may also be entitled to supportive measures. Supportive measures may be issued even if a report does not go forward as a formal grievance.

Common supportive measures include but are not limited to:

• No contact directives between parties-contact between the victim and accused is prohibited
• Absence considerations
• Course adjustments
• Alternative housing arrangements
• Adjustments to a student or employee’s job responsibilities or work hours
• Assistance to connect with community resources
• Supportive measure requests must be reasonable and are determined on a case-by-case basis. No accommodations shall alter the fundamental outcomes of the course, program or activity.
• The Title IX Coordinator will work with departments and programs on campus to ensure timely implementation of the supportive measures

The College of St. Scholastica is committed to fostering an environment of mutual respect among its students, staff and faculty, as well as others who participate in the college’s programs and activities. As part of this commitment, the college seeks to protect the rights of all members of the college community and any other persons participating in college programs or having dealings with the college, and prohibits discrimination and harassment on the basis of gender/sex (including pregnancy), gender identity or expression, race, color, religion or religious creed, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, disability, age, genetic information, marital status, veteran status, familial status, status with regard to public assistance or any other category protected by law (“protected class status”).
