SAINT VINCENT COLLEGE SEXUAL HARASSMENT & MISCONDUCT POLICY

SAINT VINCENT COLLEGE SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND SEXUAL MISCONDUCT RESOURCE GUIDE

Saint Vincent College is deeply committed to its strong tradition of respecting, preserving, protecting, and enhancing the dignity of every member of its community and all whom we welcome as guests. This tradition embraces the notion that no member of the College community is, or should be, excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in, any College program or activity on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Gender-based and sexual harassment, including sexual violence, are forms of discrimination that deny or limit an individual’s ability to participate in and benefit from the programs and activities of the College. Accordingly, the College expressly prohibits them.

As a recipient of Federal funds, the College complies with Title IX of the Higher Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities, and its current regulations.
 
In addition Title IX, other laws – notably the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, the Violence Against Women Act  (also known as VAWA); the Campus SaVE Act; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; and Pennsylvania Act 16 of 2019 – place responsibilities and requirements upon Saint Vincent relating to its efforts in responding to, reporting, preventing and educating  Saint Vincent students, faculty and staff concerning sexual harassment and sexual misconduct.
