<br />TITLE IX NONDISCRIMINATION AND NON -HARASSMENT POLICY
<br />Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1992 is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. It provides, in
<br />part: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of,
<br />or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." Sex
<br />discrimination includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking. While compliance with the
<br />law is everyone's responsibility at AC, listed below is the staff member who has primary responsibility for 'Title IX
<br />Compliance. Note: While this individual has specific areas of responsibilities, anyone should feel comfortable reporting all
<br />allegations to any employee of the College, who will follow the College's procedures concerning Title IX.
<br />Title IX Coordinator: Rumaana Khan, MPA-HCA — Compliance Office — rkllao advancedcollege.edu
<br />SEXUAL MISCONDUCT POLICY

<br />you are strongly encouraged to seek immediate assistance from the Title IX Coordinator who will direct you to nearest
<br />resource agency. AC encourages diversity and welcomes applications from all minority groups. The College does not
<br />discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, non -disqualifying, disability, gender, sexual
<br />orientation, marital status, or veteran status in the recruitment of students, or in the implementation of its policies,
<br />procedures, and activities. Sexual harassment is a prohibited aspect of sexual discrimination under this policy. It is the
<br />College's policy to maintain an environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Everyone has the
<br />right to learn in an atmosphere free from discriminatory practices, including sexual harassment and harassment based on

<br />features).
