Message from Title IX

Members of the MCC Community:

Now that classes and other academic programs are online, our Title IX office wanted to take this opportunity to remind members of our community that maintaining an educational environment free from sex/gender discrimination remains a high priority for MCC. Faculty, staff, students and community partners should be aware:

  1. The Title IX office remains open and functioning by remote at this time. Anyone impacted by sex/gender discrimination is encouraged to contact the Title IX office to make a report. Investigations and hearings will be conducted remotely, and remedies provided, to assure that any sexual harassment, sexual violence, intimate partner violence, stalking, retaliation, or other sexually discriminatory behaviors are addressed promptly.
  2. Policies on sexual misconduct apply to behaviors that occur in person between members of the college community, but also apply to online and virtual misconduct. Any behavior that is prohibited by policy is also likely prohibited in cyber-forms, including cyber-harassment, cyber-bullying that is sex-based, and cyber-stalking. Members of the community are expected to maintain a tone of civility and respect in online classes just as they would if they were in class physically.
  3. Faculty and staff members are reminded that reporting of alleged sexual misconduct is expected when they become aware of incidents or allegations involving members of the campus community, regardless of how they learn of the potential misconduct, whether in person, in writing, or online.

As a reminder, here is information on the College's Title IX Policies for Individuals Reporting Sexual Harassment and Misconduct and our online Discrimination and Sexual Harassment Complaint Form.

Prevention and Education Update: During the month of April, we are participating in a nation-wide campaign called Yards for Yeardley to raise awareness for domestic violence. Track your steps/miles/etc. and report them to Shelby Trudeau at strudeau3@monroecc.edu. Shelby will convert them to yards and report MCC's total distance covered at the end of April. If you'd like to learn more about Yards for Yeardley, please visit their website: https://www.joinonelove.org/yards-for-yeardley/
