NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY STATEMENT

Randolph Community College does not discriminate on the basis of sex and prohibits sex discrimination in any Education Program or Activity that it operates, as required by Title IX, including in admission and employment. Sex discrimination is based on sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Randolph Community College is committed to maintaining and strengthening an inclusive, safe and welcoming learning environment free from discrimination, harassment and related misconduct for all members of the College community. Pursuant to applicable federal, state and local laws and in accordance with its policy, the College prohibits unlawful discrimination and harassment on the basis of an individual’s age, race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, pregnancy or related conditions, disability, genetic information, political affiliation, veteran status, or other protected status.

Title IX is a comprehensive federal law, grounded in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. Under Title IX, discrimination on the basis of sex includes quid pro quo harassment; sexual harassment; and sexual assault, stalking, dating or domestic violence (collectively referred to as "sexual harassment"). Such acts violate the essential dignity of our community and are contrary to our institutional values.

This policy and associated procedures protect students, employees, and community members from unlawful discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment. The College’s Title IX Coordinators oversee and handle such complaints.
