Why ECC?
Title IX (Nine) is a law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs and activities. Under Title IX, discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment (including non-physical acts) or sexual violence such as rape, sexual assault, and sexual coercion by students or staff.
Title IX applies, with a few specific exceptions, to all aspects of federally funded education programs or activities. In addition to traditional educational institutions such as colleges, universities, and elementary and secondary schools, Title IX also applies to any education or training program operated by a recipient of federal financial assistance.
Examples of the types of conduct that violates Title IX include, but are not limited to:
The College conducts annual training provided through ATIXA covering the substance of the law and Title IX regulations, requirements under the law and Title IX regulation, development and implementation of policies and procedures, identifying and responding to situations under Title IX, and conducting investigations, hearings, and appeals.
