<br />Policy
<br />Effective: 08/14/2020
<br />Concorde does not discriminate on the basis of sex in
<br />the education programs and activities it operates,
<br />including but not limited to admissions, recruiting,
<br />financial aid, academic programs, student services,
<br />counseling and guidance, discipline, class assignments,
<br />grading, recreation, extracurricular activities and
<br />employment, Concorde is committed to offering an
<br />education and working environment that is free from
<br />discrimination and harassment on the basis of sex,
<br />sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender
<br />expression ("Sex Discrimination'), and free from Sexual
<br />Violence (including sexual assault) and Relationship
<br />Violence (including domestic violence, dating violence
<br />and stalking). Such discrimination is inconsistent with
<br />Concorde's values and is prohibited by law, including by
<br />Title IX to the Education Amendments of 1972 ("Title IX").
<br />Thus, Concorde prohibits Sex Discrimination, Sexual
<br />Violence and Relationship Violence (together, the
<br />"Prohibited Conduct'). as set forth herein, and is
<br />committed to taking action, to the extent possible (i) to
<br />stop behavior that violates this policy; (ii) to take
<br />remedial action to overcome the effects of Prohibited
<br />Conduct and ensure equal access to its educational
<br />programs and activities; (III) to prevent the recurrence of
<br />Prohibited Conduct, and (iv) to prevent and respond to
<br />retaliation against anyone who, in good faith, reports or
<br />is involved in the investigation into or resolution of
<br />allegations of Prohibited Conduct. In so doing, the
<br />College will administer prompt, fair and impartial
<br />investigations and disciplinary proceedings to respond
<br />to reports of Prohibited Conduct via its Title IX
<br />Grievance Procedures located within this policy and
<br />provide equal and timely access to information that will
<br />be used in any informal and format proceedings and
<br />meetings related to said reports, and offer and
<br />implement interim measures to protect and support
<br />those directly involved and affected by the alleged
<br />behavior. In implementing this policy, Concorde
<br />acknowledges that every victim or survivor of
<br />Prohibited Conduct has the right to be taken seriously
<br />and every respondent to allegations of Prohibited
<br />Conduct has the right to know that guilt is not
<br />presumed.
<br />The prevention and elimination of sexual harassment is
<br />of special concern to Concorde. Sexual harassment
<br />includes conduct on the basis of sex that satisfies one
<br />or more of the following: (1) an employee conditioning
<br />the provision of an aid, service or benefit of Concorde
<br />on an individuals participation in unwelcome sexual
<br />conduct; (2) unwelcome conduct determined by a
<br />reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive and
<br />objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person
<br />equal access to Concorde's education program or
<br />activity; and/or (3) Sexual Assault, Dating Violence,
<br />Domestic Violence, or Stalking as defined herein.
<br />Dating Violence,Violence committed by a person who
