Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,<\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n
I am excited to work with the CC community as the college\u2019s first assistant vice president for civil rights and Title IX coordinator.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Along with Josh Isringhausen, the assistant director for civil rights and deputy Title IX coordinator, I lead CC\u2019s new Office for Civil Rights and Title IX. I want to take the opportunity to introduce myself and share a bit about my role, the purpose of the office, and the next step for moving this important work forward.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
The Office for Civil Rights and Title IX is a resource for all students, staff, and faculty for addressing concerns related to discrimination, harassment, dating\/domestic violence, stalking, and sexual misconduct, including related retaliation. While the office is independent of the offices of Student Life, Human Resources, and the Dean of the Faculty, we look forward to collaborating with these and other CC departments and community members to further CC\u2019s commitment to equity, inclusion, and a learning and work environment where all members of the community are safe, supported, and able to thrive.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
In addition, I am incredibly grateful for the Title IX and Nondiscrimination Policy Working Group\u2019s hard work and valuable feedback and recommendations.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
In November 2021, President L. Song Richardson announced the creation of this working group, which included student, staff, and faculty representatives. The working group was charged with developing recommendations for how the interim Title IX and nondiscrimination policies and procedures could operate effectively as we all work toward creating the safest environment possible for all members of the community. <\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
The working group concluded its review and provided a report with recommendations to President Richardson in March 2022. Some of their recommendations included:<\/div>\n
