Consistent with the U.S. Department of Education’s implementing regulations for Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) (see 34 C.F.R. § 106 et seq.), the college prohibits Sexual Harassment that occurs within its education, programs, and activities. Missouri Valley College prohibits all forms of Sexual Misconduct, which include: Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment, Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking.

Any person may report Sexual Harassment to the Title IX Coordinator.
