TITLE IX/PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH RELATED CONCERNS Under Title IX, it is illegal for colleges and universities to exclude a pregnant student from participating in any part of an educational program. Special services provided to students who have temporary medical conditions must also be provided to a pregnant student. Therefore, NWTC must excuse a student’s absences because of pregnancy or childbirth for as long as the student’s doctor deems the absences medically necessary. For more information related to pregnancy and childbirth accommodations, please contact Kelly Schumacher, Manager of Accommodation Services/Title IX Student Deputy Coordinator on the Green Bay Campus at (920) 498-6390 or [email protected] Click to learn more about the College’s Gender Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct Policy. TITLE IX/SEXUAL MISCONDUCT Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects people from discrimination based on sex, including pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, in education programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. Thus, NWTC believes in zero tolerance policy for gender-based misconduct. When an allegation of misconduct is brought to the appropriate coordinator’s attention, and a respondent has been found to have violated this policy, serious sanctions will be used to reasonably ensure that such actions are not repeated. This policy has been developed to: • Reaffirm these principles • Provide recourse for individuals whose rights have been violated • Define community expectations, which have been violated • Provide a learning environment that is inclusive of all learners and free from gender discrimination Sexual misconduct is a broad term encompassing any non-consensual behavior of a sexual nature that is committed by force or intimidation, or that is otherwise unwelcome. Sexual misconduct includes: • Sexual assault • Sexual exploitation • Sexual harassment • Stalking • Relationship violence (domestic and dating) • Hostile environment Sexual misconduct may vary in its severity and consists of a range of behaviors or attempted behaviors. It can occur between strangers or acquaintances, including people involved in an intimate or sexual relationship. Sexual misconduct can occur between members of the same or different gender and can also o ccur while individuals are fully clothed. The Title IX Coordinator position has been established to oversee all sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual assault and relationship violence complaints at the College, and to promote an environment that is free of gender bias and misconduct.
