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 benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial aid.” Gila Community College is committed to providing a safe and positive learning, living, and working environment. Both Title IX and GCC’s Civil Rights Protections and Sexual Harassment Prohibition policy make clear that sexual violence and harassment based on gender is prohibited. The College has a responsibility to ensure that students, faculty, staff, and visitors can enjoy the benefits and opportunities the College has to offer in an environment free from discrimination on the basis of gender, including sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, bullying, and retaliation.
An individual who believes they have been subjected to sexual violence or harassed on the basis of sex can seek support, including counseling and academic support, from the College. If you or someone you know has been harassed on the basis of sex or sexually assaulted, please reach out to the Academic Advising office, a faculty member, or a college administrator.
Please note, as a mandated reporter, College faculty and staff are obligated to report any information they become aware of regarding alleged acts of discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct.
Harassment Prohibited
GCC policy prohibits harassment on the basis of race, sex, gender identity, age, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, and other protected classes. Violations of this policy are serious and may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employees or expulsion of students.
