Sexual Violence and Title IX

What is Title IX?

Normandale Community College does not tolerate sexual misconduct or sexual violence of any kind in any context. We are committed to empowering students who experience sexual assault or other forms of gender-based violence to pursue disciplinary, criminal, and civil action if they choose to do so.

If you are a member of the Normandale Community College community and have experienced sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape, dating/intimate partner or domestic violence, harassment based on gender nonconformity, stalking, cyber-stalking, or retaliation, you have options for support.

FYI: No disciplinary action will be taken against you by Normandale Community College for violating campus conduct policy regarding alcohol or drug use if you are reporting an act of gender-based violence.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 states: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." The regulations regarding The IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 can be found on the Department of Justice website.
