The school community has the right to be free from sexual violence. All members are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that does not infringe upon others’ rights. Aegis believes in a zero-tolerance policy for sex or gender-based misconduct. When an allegation of misconduct is brought to an appropriate administrator’s attention, and a violation is found, severe sanctions will be implemented to reasonably ensure that such actions are never repeated. When a complainant(s) and respondent(s) are school employees, authorized volunteers, guests, or visitors, the College will comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. When a complainant(s) and respondent(s) are students, the School will comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX). For all individuals to whom this procedure applies, the School will adhere to its obligations under the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA) of 2013.
To take appropriate corrective action, the School must be aware of any discrimination, harassment, and related retaliation that occurs in school employment and educational programs or activities. Therefore, anyone who believes one has experienced or witnessed discrimination, harassment, or related retaliation should promptly report such behavior to the student services email.
