NCF Policy

• NCF prohibits discrimination/harassment on the basis of sex.

• It is the policy of NCF to take immediate and corrective action to eliminate harassment or discrimination, prevent their recurrence and address their effects

33

Gender Identity

• The prohibition against discrimination/harassment on the basis of sex also extends to claims of discrimination based on gender identity or failure to conform to stereotypical notions of masculinity or femininity

• Also extends to claims of sexual discrimination by someone of the same sex

34

Who can you talk to?

You can speak to anyone that you feel comfortable talking to. However:

• Confidentiality: you may speak with the victim’s advocate and our counseling staff in the Counseling and Wellness Center confidentially. They will not share what you tell them unless you want them to.

• Mandatory reporters: all other NCF employees, including faculty, resident assistants, other student employees, and trustees are all considered mandatory reporters and MUST report information about sexual misconduct to the Title IX Coordinator or designee.

35

Filing a Complaint

You may • share as much information as you feel comfortable providing

• request that your name and other identifiable information not be disclosed to the alleged perpetrator

However• Providing more information will assist the college with conducting an

investigation and asking the College to not disclose your name will limit the ability of the College to respond.

• Even if you ask the College not to take action the College may still be required to take steps to protect the overall campus environment. In such an event the College will do its best to protect your identity.
