Domestic Abuse / Sexual Assault Resources

Please advise your instructor, student services representative, or school director should you need any assistance with domestic abuse or sexual assault issues. We are here to help you. Should you desire assistance from an outside agency regarding issues related to Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault or other crimes, we  can assist you with finding needed resources.

You can also search for a local crisis center by clicking here. All of these crisis centers have 24/7 crisis hotlines that serve victims of sexual violence.  They are trained to provide you with the support and information you need.  They can also assist you with any of the following:

• Individual counseling

• Legal/criminal justice system advocacy
• Crime victim assistance advocacy
• Community education
• Professional education
• Casework/practical assistance

What is Title IX?

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects people from sex discrimination in educational programs and activities, including sexual harassment at institutions that received federal financial assistance.

We take complaints and allegations of sexual misconduct very seriously.

Who do I contact if I have any questions about Title IX?
