Title IX

CVTC strives to provide a safe environment in which students can pursue their education free from the detrimental effects of sexual misconduct, which includes, but is not limited to sexual harassment, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, stalking, sexual assault and other forms of non-consensual sexual behavior. Title IX of the Higher Education Act of 1972 ("Title IX") prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities operated by recipients of Federal financial assistance.

Title IX ensures the College does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its education programs and the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA) amendments to the Clery Act ensures that colleges and universities implement policies and programs to prevent sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking. Therefore, the College seeks to educate students, faculty and staff about these issues and to provide a means of recourse for those who believe they have experienced such misconduct. The College reserves the right to respond with whatever measures it deems appropriate to prevent sexual misconduct and preserve the safety and well-being of its students, staff and visiting community members.

The College specifically prohibits all forms of sexual misconduct and violence including, but not limited to, rape, acquaintance rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and hate crimes between or against members of its college community.

The College does not discriminate on the basis of gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other College-administered programs or in its employment practices.
