Sexual Misconduct

Title IX

Home About Title IX

Antioch University is committed to providing a learning and working environment free from sex discrimination.

Sexual harassment, which includes sexual violence, is prohibited by Antioch’s Sexual Harassment, Sexual Violence and Sex Discrimination (Title IX) Policy 4.607. Sexual harassment is also prohibited under federal law (Title IX), which protects individuals from sex discrimination in educational programs and activities and which applies to schools that receive financial aid from the federal government. Antioch’s Title IX policy provides a grievance and discipline process for sexual misconduct complaints.

How to Report Sexual Misconduct

Antioch’s Title IX Coordinators are available to speak with any student or employee who believes they have been subjected to sex discrimination or sexual harassment, including sexual violence, by a student, University employee, visitor, vendor or contractor. Title IX Coordinators can describe Antioch’s Title IX process and options for reporting sexual misconduct. Please note that speaking with a Coordinator does not constitute filing a formal Title IX complaint.

Pregnancy and Parenting

Under Title IX, pregnant and parenting students have certain rights (for example, excused absences when medically necessary, the ability to make up work missed, and the right to be protected from pregnancy harassment). Students are entitled to reasonable adjustments or medically necessary accommodations based on pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting. For more information, please review the Know Your Rights pamphlet or contact the applicable Coordinator or Deputy Coordinator (see below).
