Sexual harassment can occur between strangers or acquaintances, or people who know each other well, including <br />between peopleinvolved in an intimate or sexual relationship, can be committed by anyone regardless of gender identity, <br />and can occur between people of the same or different sex or gender. The Policy prohibits all forms of sexual <br />harassment. <br />The College will respond promptly when it has actual knowledge of sexual harassment in its education programs or <br />activities. The Title IX Coordinator will promptly contact the complainant to discuss the availability of supportive <br />measures, consider the complainant's wishes with respect to supportive measures, inform the complainant of the <br />availability of supportive measures with or without the filing of a formal complaint, and explain to the complainant the <br />process for filing a formal complaint. The College willalso provide the complainant with written notification about <br />assistance available both within and outside of the College community. <br />The College's Title IX Coordinator is responsible for monitoring and overseeing the College's compliance with Title IX and <br />the prevention of sexual harassment, sexual misconduct and discrimination. The College's Title IX Coordinator will work <br />with all students affected by sexual misconduct to ensure their safety and support their well-being. This assistance may <br />include providing supportive measures to support or protect a student after an incident of sexual harassment and while <br />an investigation or disciplinary proceeding is pending. Supportive measures are non -disciplinary, non -punitive <br />individualized services offered as appropriate, as reasonably available, and without fee or charge to the complainant or <br />the respondent before or after the filing of a formal complaintor where no formal complaint has been filed. <br />Inquiries or concerns about Title IX may be referred to the College's Title IX/504 Coordinator: <br />Santa Ana Campus: <br />Christopher Rush <br />720 E.

Victims of sexual misconduct may file a report with the local Police Department. Victims may also file <br />a report with the College's Title IX Coordinator. The College and the criminal justice system work independently from <br />each other. Law enforcement officers do not determine whether a violation of this Policy has occurred. The College <br />prohibits retaliation against those who file a complaint or third -party report, or otherwise participate in the investigative <br />and/or disciplinary process (e.g., as a witness). <br />Counseling, advocacy and support services are available forvictims of sexual misconduct, whether or not a victim chooses <br />to makean official report or participate in the College's disciplinary or criminal process. InterCoast Colleges does not <br />provide counseling orhealth care services. Personal counseling offered by the College will be limited to initial crisis <br />assessment and referral. The policy includes information about counseling and support services that are available outside <br />the College. <br />The College encourages victims of sexual misconduct to talk to somebody about what happened —so victims can get the <br />support they need, and so the College can respond appropriately. The College will seek to respect a victim's request for <br />confidentiality to theextent possible, while remaining ever mindful of the victim's well-being. While the College cannot <br />guarantee confidentiality with respect to student reports of sexual harassment, the College can assist a victim of sexual <br />harassment in obtaining support services and/or confidential counseling. More information about the College's <br />confidentiality policy and available support services is includedin the Policy. <br />I ntercoast C 0 llel;es sthusd Catalog 401 Page <br />
