Title IX Policy
La Sierra University is committed to providing all individuals with an environment free of unlawful sex discrimination and sexual misconduct. La Sierra University prohibits all forms of unlawful sex discrimination and sexual misconduct including, but not limited to, sex-based intimidation and harassment, sexual harassment, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual violence.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs and activities. All public and private elementary and secondary schools, school districts, colleges, and universities receiving any federal financial assistance (hereinafter “schools”, “recipients”, or “recipient institutions”) must comply with Title IX.
La Sierra University is committed to addressing all forms of unlawful sex discrimination and sexual misconduct by enacting preventative measures, educating the campus community, and utilizing grievance procedures. La Sierra University expects all of its employees to take reasonable and necessary action to prevent, address, and respond to unlawful sex discrimination as permissible by their professional responsibilities, which are based on the capacity in which they were hired by the University.
For example, those hired as mental health counselors may be exempt from reporting instances of sexual assault if the individual does not pose a threat to him or himself or the campus community. However, a faculty member who may also hold a degree in counseling will still be required to report as he or she was hired by the University as a of faculty member rather than a mental health counselor.
