No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Title IX has evolved to include comprehensive sexual misconduct policies. These policies offer protections and support to all people on campus, who experience sexual harassment, assault, relationship violence, and stalking.
RCC is committed to addressing any such conduct which takes place within programs and services of the college. Such matters that have occurred off campus with parties not affiliated with the college are still eligible to receive support from the college as well. All employees who receive a disclosure of such a report are required to report this to the Title IX Coordinator. A victim of sexual violence has the right to file (or not file) a Complaint. A victim may also choose to file a criminal complaint, in which case the Title IX Coordinator and/or Campus Public Safety can assist the victim with that process. Reporting the incident to the Title IX Coordinator or Campus Public Safety does not obligate the victim to file criminal charges. A victim may also choose to remain anonymous.
Any individual who wishes to file a report of such conduct to be addressed should contact the Title IX Coordinator directly: Josh Crary, Assistant Dean for Accessibility and Title IX Coordinator, 857-701-1533, and by email at jcrary@rcc.mass.edu. The Title IX Coordinator can be found in building 3, room 205.
The Title IX policy can be found within the Policy for Affirmative Action and Nondiscrimination at https://www.rcc.mass.edu/footer/affirmative-action-eep-statement-of-non-discrimination.html.
