Do you know your IX?
- PROHIBITS SEX DISCRIMINATION IN EDUCATION.
Title IX is a landmark 1972 federal civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education. - NOT JUST FOR WOMEN BUT FOR THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY.
We are an ʻohana. Male and gender non- conforming students who suffer sex or gender-based violence or harassment are also protected under Title IX. - KAPIʻOLANI COMMUNITY COLLEGE HAS YOUR BACK.
Schools must be proactive in ensuring that your campus is free of sex discrimination. You are not alone. - KAPIʻOLANI COMMUNITY COLLEGE SHOULD HAVE SUPPORT SYSTEMS IN PLACE.
Schools must have an established procedure for handling complaints of sexual discrimination, harassment, or violence. - YOUR STORY ON YOUR TERMS.
Schools should ensure that a victim doesn’t have to share spaces, such as classes and campus jobs, with his or her assailant. - KAPIʻOLANI COMMUNITY COLLEGE PLANS FOR SAFETY.
Schools may not retaliate against someone filing a complaint and must keep a complainant-victim safe from other retaliatory harassment or behavior. - YOUR RIGHT TO NO CONTACT.
Schools can issue a no-contact directive under Title IX to prevent the accused student from approaching or interacting with you. - YOUR HEARING, YOUR WAY.
In cases of sexual violence, schools are prohibited from encouraging or allowing mediation (rather than a formal hearing) of the complaint. - OUR SCHOOL, OUR SPACE.
Schools cannot discourage you from continuing your education.
