TITLE IX STATEMENT:
Wilson Community College and its faculty are committed to supporting our students and seeking an environment that is free of
bias, discrimination, and harassment. The College prohibits any form of unlawful discrimination, harassment, or violence, including
sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and hate crimes based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and
nationality. If you have encountered any form of sexual misconduct (e.g. sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking, domestic
or dating violence), or gender-based discrimination, we encourage you to report this to the College. If you speak with a faculty
member about an incident of misconduct, that faculty member must notify the Title IX Coordinator (see contact information below).
The Title IX Coordinator will then be available to assist you in understanding all of your options and in connecting you with all
possible resources on and o
campus.
TITLE IX AND PREGNANCY:
Title IX also provides for equal educational opportunities for pregnant and parenting students. It prohibits educational institutions
from discriminating against students based on pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, or recovery from
any of these conditions. It also prohibits schools from applying any rule related to a student’s parental, family or marital status that
treats students dierently based on their sex.
Title IX requires the College to excuse a student’s absences with medical approval, due to pregnancy, including recovery from
childbirth. The College may oer the student alternatives to making up missed work, such as retaking a semester, taking part in an
online course, or allowing the student to finish at a later date. The student should be allowed to determine how coursework will be
completed.
