Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in an educational setting. It was first passed in 1972, and over the years has become widely and legally understood to define sexual misconduct as a form of gender discrimination.
At Central Wyoming College, Title IX guides the College’s processes and procedures for investigating and adjudicating reports of sexual misconduct, as well as offering support options. Title IX also provides a mechanism for letting the federal government know when you believe that Central Wyoming College (or any school) has not met their obligations to stop and prevent sexual violence within the educational setting.
Procedures
- The procedures guiding student behavior, including all possible disciplinary action, are provided in the CWC Student Handbook 2019-2020.
- The procedures guiding staff/faculty behavior, are provided in Personnel Procedures.
