ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ is committed to providing a safe and non-discriminatory learning, living, and working environment for all members of the University community.<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

We adhere to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination based on sex\u2014including sexual harassment and sexual violence\u2014in our educational programs and activities. Retaliation for asserting or participating in claims of sex discrimination is also prohibited.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We also comply with the Louisiana State Board of Regents\u2019 Power-Based Violence Policy, which encompasses any form of interpersonal violence intended to control or intimidate another person through the assertion of power over them.<\/span><\/p>

Compliance with Title IX<\/span> and the Louisiana Board of Regents\u2019 Power-Based Violence Policy are reflected in all policies and procedures referenced in this Policy Statement Document.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual harassment, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, or any other forms of sexual misconduct, the University strongly encourages you to report this information to the Title IX Office. Reporting the incident means that you have choices to make about what the next steps look like. For some people, reporting is to ensure that your experience is recognized; for others, reporting is a means to get the support you need to feel safe and healthy; or, reporting can be a way to initiate our conduct process because you want to hold whoever harmed you accountable for their behavior.<\/span><\/p>

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities, including sexual harassment, assault, dating\/domestic violence, and stalking.<\/span><\/p>

Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex against any person in education programs and activities receiving federal funding. Students have the right to pursue an education, including athletic programs, scholarships and other activities, free from sex discrimination, including sexual violence and harassment. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. \u00a7 1681 et seq.) requires schools that receive federal financial assistance to take necessary steps to prevent sexual assault on their campuses and to respond promptly and effectively when an assault is reported.<\/span><\/p>

The Clery Act<\/b><\/p>

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (20 USC \u00a7 1092(f)), commonly referred to as the Clery Act, requires colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to report annual statistics on crime on or near their campuses\u2013including sexual assault and rape and to develop and disseminate prevention policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Campus SaVE Act<\/b><\/p>

The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act (Campus SaVE) was enacted in March 2013 and amends the Jeanne Clery Act, creating additional protections for victims of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking, as well as creating more prescriptive requirements for prevention and awareness programs related to these offenses.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Except for Confidential Resources, all University Employees are designated Responsible Employees and thereby mandatory reporters of potential Title IX and Power-Based Violence Policy violations. Responsible Employees include all staff (hourly and salary), faculty, instructors, teaching assistants, graduate assistants and student workers who have supervisory responsibility or responsibility for the welfare of other students and learn of potential violations of this policy in the scope of their employment. Student workers who are Responsible Employees include but are not limited to Residential Living employees, Athletics Team Managers and\/or Volunteers, Peer Educators, and Camp Leaders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Responsible Employees must report <\/span>immediately<\/span><\/i> any information about suspected sexual or gender-based harassment, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, stalking, domestic\/dating violence, or retaliation regardless of when (both prior to or during their time at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½) or where (both on and off campus) the alleged misconduct occurred. Responsible employees must report retaliation when they are aware of acts consistent with the policy definition of retaliation, and they have reason to believe it is occurring because of a party\u2019s participation in a resolution process, or in order to prevent someone from making a report to the Office of Title IX and Civil Rights Compliance or participating in a resolution process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Reports must include any known details such as identities of the parties and the date, time, and location of the incident. Confidential Resources who do not have to report potential <\/span>Title IX and Power-Based Violence <\/span><\/i>Policy violations include those working in the Counseling Center and Health Services.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Power-Based Violence (PBV) includes any form of interpersonal violence where one party exerts power and control over another, such as sexual assault, dating\/domestic violence, and stalking. PBV is broader than Title IX and reflects Louisiana\u2019s commitment to addressing all forms of violence affecting campus safety.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

On Wednesday, May 6, 2020, the Department of Education\u2019s Office for Civil Rights issued new Title IX regulations that will change the way institutions of higher education (IHEs) must address, investigate and adjudicate issues of sex and gender-based harassment, sexual misconduct, intimate partner violence and stalking.<\/p>

The new regulations went into effect on August 14, 2020.\u00a0ÐÓ°É´«Ã½\u2019 existing Title IX\u00a0policies<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0are in full compliance with the current regulations. Similar to other IHEs across the country, the University will be required to amend those policies to comply with the new regulations.<\/p>

ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ has already been reviewing our current policies in anticipation of the new regulations.\u00a0Now that the regulations have been finalized, we will spend the coming weeks carefully reviewing them and determining the best way to implement these regulations, ensuring we maintain processes that are thorough, equitable and sensitive to the needs of all parties.<\/p>

At this time, ÐÓ°É´«Ã½\u2019 Title IX policies for reporting, investigating and adjudicating issues of sex or gender-based harassment remain unchanged, and any existing processes will continue under the current policies in place. We will continue to monitor information and guidance from the Department of Education as we move forward.<\/p>

As always, ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ is committed to providing a safe and non-discriminatory learning, living, and working environment for all members of the University community.
