Title IX Education Amendment

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protect individuals from discrimination based on sex in any educational program or activity operated by recipients of federal financial assistance. Sexual harassment, which includes acts of sexual violence, is a form of sexual discrimination prohibited by Title IX.

Bennett College Title IX Statement

Bennett College is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy learning and working environment in which no member of the College is, on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity, excluded from participation in or denied the benefits of any College program or activity. The policies and procedures described in this Sexual and Relationship Misconduct Policy are intended to prevent and address gender-based harassment, sexual harassment, and sexual violence, which are forms of sex discrimination that deny or limit an individual’s ability to participate in and benefit from the College’s programs and activities.

Accordingly, the policy is designed to ensure a safe and non-discriminatory environment that meets the legal requirements of federal, state, and local laws, including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act; the Clery Act; and other applicable state and federal law.

Any individual who has been the target of sexual misconduct, stalking, or relationship abuse or violence, or other conduct that may violate this Policy is strongly encouraged to report the incident. 

How to Report

Bennett College provides the following options for reporting an act of sexual misconduct, stalking, relationship abuse and violence, or other acts prohibited under this Policy. You are encouraged to report an incident even if you do not want to file a criminal report or initiate Bennett College’s internal complaint procedures. By your reporting, Bennett College can ensure you have access to counseling services, academic support services, and any other supportive measures that are appropriate. Incident reports also provide information to help Bennett College provide a safe and non-discriminatory environment for all members of the college community. 

All non-confidential reports will be reported to the Title IX Coordinator, who will meet with you to review your options and all available resources. Bennett College will limit disclosure of information included in a non-confidential report to those individuals involved in the College’s response to the report and to legally required or permitted disclosures. This means only people who need to know will be told.

Campus Safety also can contact other on- and off-campus resources to assist you. Campus Safety will record the report for Clery Act purposes, but shall do so without disclosing any personally identifiable information about the Complainant in order to maintain confidentiality.
