Title IX
By Dr. 斯科特·贝伦斯，招生管理和学生成功副总裁
You have probably heard about Title IX in the news. 通常，第九条与高校体育运动中的性别平等有关. 第九条是一个敏感的政治话题，往往会随着美国宪法的修订而被修改.S. presidential change. 事实上，拜登政府随时都可能提出第九条修正案. What is Title IX? According to the Department of Education, 第九条是1972年联邦法律的教育修正案，“保护人们在接受联邦财政援助的教育项目或活动中免受性别歧视。."
我今天写这篇文章是因为十大外围app致力于建设一个多元化和包容性的校园，并维护一个安全的工作和学习环境. As part of that commitment, 重要的是，校园里的每个人都对第九条有一个基本的了解，以及它是如何在我们校园实施的. To this end, the college is reviewing its Title IX Policy 以及相应的程序，并希望修改和增加其第九条培训.
确保一个安全的工作和学习环境，让每个人都有归属感是每个人的责任. To accomplish this, everyone needs to know the basics off Title IX. Under Title IX, 基于性别的歧视包括性骚扰或性暴力, such as rape, sexual assault, sexual battery and sexual coercion. Sexual harassment is defined as unwanted sexual behavior, 主动或请求帮助——一个通情达理的人认为这种行为是如此严重, 普遍的，客观上令人反感的，它实际上剥夺了一个人平等参加教育项目或活动的机会. 性侵犯包括未经投诉人同意而直接针对他人的任何性行为, 包括投诉人没有能力给予同意的情况. 缺乏同意可能包括判断力、身体能力或年龄受损. 跟踪指的是对特定的人进行重复的行为，这会导致一个理性的人担心自己或他人的安全，或者遭受严重的情绪困扰. 约会暴力和家庭暴力是在亲密关系中保持对另一个伴侣的权力和控制的行为模式.
能够识别基于性别和/或性别的歧视是很重要的，这样我们就可以在看到它时报告它. As a rule, when we see something, we need to report something. At MCCC, we have made reporting Title IX complaints easy. While most colleges have one trained Title IX Coordinator, MCCC有两名经过ATIXA培训的协调员/调查员(ATIXA是Title IX管理员协会). One is the executive director of human resources, and the other is me, the vice president of enrollment management. 我们也有一个表格，可以在我们专门的第九条网页上找到 gwpytb.crypto-fame.net/titleix.
Once the Title IX coordinator has the complaint form, 他们将联系投诉人，开始收集信息，并确定案件是否符合第九条的标准. If it does, the case moves forward. 如果没有，如果有必要，可以将案件转交给学院的其他部门. When a case is confirmed to be congruent with Title IX, 该过程是由第九条协调员进行的初步评估，随后可能会进行正式调查, a hearing and appeal process.
应当指出，只有在确定明确的索赔人(据称受害者)和答辩人(据称犯罪者)时才进行听证. 投诉人可以选择只接受支持性措施，而不进行正式投诉或任何其他解决程序. 同样，投诉人和被投诉人可以选择非正式的解决程序.
Support measures are available to everyone, and Monroe County has some excellent resources, including:
- 门罗社区心理健康(mcc校园办公室):(734)384-4167

- “We are here and always happy to help. Everyone is welcoming, friendly and nice!”
- “Never feel bad about yourself for seeking help. We have all had to do it at some point so we understand! You are bettering yourself and that is something to be proud of.”
- “We know it can be intimidating, 但我们所有的导师都很擅长创造一个安全的学习空间，并在学生所在的地方与他们见面.”
- “可能发生的最糟糕的事情就是你为了来这里而放弃了一些时间. 最好的事情是你可以在你的课程中得到帮助，并意识到这里有一个团队随时准备支持你!”
