    Title IX Statement
    Title IX of the Education Amendments 1972 (20 U.S.C. s1681 et seq.) and its implementing regulations, 34 C.F.R. Part 106 (Title IX) state the following: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” 
     

    The College strives to maintain a healthy and safe environment where all members of the community, students, faculty and staff feel welcome on College locations and classrooms.
