Scope

These Procedures govern sex-based misconduct in various forms, many of which may trigger legal obligations under one or more state and federal laws.  In no case does the inapplicability of a particular legal framework require the College not to address an act of misconduct falling within the scope of these Procedures.

Sections I-VII include provisions relevant to sex-based misconduct in all its forms.  Sections VI.A and VI.B address specific reporting procedures for students and employees, respectively.  Section VIII, which describes a grievance process with a required live hearing, applies only to formal Title IX complaints and complaints alleging sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence or stalking.

Section XI provides definitions for these Procedures.
