Saint Michael’s College does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its education programs and activities, and Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, as amended (“Title IX”), as well as applicable state law, requires that it not discriminate in such a manner. Prohibited sex discrimination includes behavior that falls within the scope of the College’s Title IX Sexual Harassment and Non-Title Misconduct definitions below. In addition to violating College policy, sexual harassment may also be unlawful. Inquiries concerning the application of Title IX may be referred to the College’s Title IX Coordinator (see below) or to the United States Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.

As an educational institution, Saint Michael’s College is committed to promoting, through educational and consciousness-raising activities (including the distribution of this Policy), a campus environment where sexual harassment/misconduct, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking are recognized as wholly intolerable, and where individuals subjected to such misconduct are provided with avenues of support and redress as appropriate. In accordance with this commitment, the College has developed the following policy. Other educational and consciousness-raising activities are conducted through the efforts of a few offices that fall under Student Affairs and Academic Affairs scope of service. These offices include Residence Life, Bergeron Wellness Center, The Center for Women and Gender and Student Life.
