Reporting of any TITLE IX violation is encouraged at all levels in the Talladega College community. Anyone who has knowledge of an offense or who has been personally affected by an offense defined in our Title IX Gender-Based and Sexual Misconduct Policy can, and is highly encouraged to, report this.
Talladega College does not permit discrimination, abuse, harassment in its educational programs and related activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion or any other characteristic protected by institutional policy or state, local and federal law. Examples of misconduct which should be reported include but are not limited to stalking, sexual harassment, violence, sexual violence, physical abuse, mental abuse, strangulation, and sexual assault.
Once a report has been made, an immediate initial investigation will ensue to determine if there is a reasonable cause to believe the nondiscrimination policy at Talladega College has been violated. If reasonable cause does exist, Talladega College will initiate a prompt, thorough and impartial investigation for the purpose of determining if the Talladega College nondiscrimination policy has been violated. If so, a prompt and effective remedy will be implemented to end the discrimination, prevent any reoccurrence and address the effects related to the violation.
TITLE IX PROCESS
The Title IX Grievance Resolution process governs the Talladega College procedure for receiving complaints of sexual misconduct and the protected-class discrimination and harassment, the investigation of such complaints, the prompt and fair determination as to whether Talladega College policies have been violated and the imposition of appropriate sanctions where violations have been found to exist. This procedure also governs the appear process whereby a party aggrieved of any findings or sanctions may seek review.
Sexual and discriminatory misconduct is especially destructive within the educational process and affects the well-being of the members of the Talladega College community. The prompt investigation and appropriate disposition of charges is required if Talladega College is to fulfill its responsibilities and its obligations under federal law; therefore, to the extent the provisions herein may conflict with those related to charges of other Student Code of Conduct violations, this procedure governs.
