Title IX Logo

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects students, employees, applicants for admission and employment, and other persons from all forms of sex discrimination.

HGTC prohibits the offenses of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking and will provide students, faculty, and staff with necessary information regarding prevention, policies, procedures, and resources.

Any student, or other member of the college community, who believes that they have been a victim of sexual harassment, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking may file a report with the college鈥檚 Title IX Coordinator or campus law enforcement*.

* Faculty and Staff are required to report these incidents to the Title IX Coordinator when involving students. The only HGTC employees exempt from mandatory reporting are licensed mental health professionals (only as part of their job description such as counseling services).

Student and prospective student inquiries concerning Title IX and its application to the College or any student decision may be directed to the Vice President for Student Affairs.

Take the pledge against sexual assault - 

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (鈥淭itle IX鈥�), 20 U.S.C. 搂1681 et seq., is a Federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex - including pregnancy and parental status - in educational programs and activities.

According to guidance received from the Department of Education鈥檚 Office of Civil Rights (鈥淥CR鈥�), under Title IX, colleges must not exclude a pregnant student from participating in any part of an educational program. 兔子先生 is committed to ensuring that pregnant students receive reasonable accommodations to ensure access to our educational programs. Students do not have to drop out of classes or academic programs or change educational plans due to pregnancy.
