Prince George’s Community College is committed to providing an educational and employment environment that is free from discrimination based on sex and retaliation. As a recipient of federal financial assistance, the College is subject to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended (Title IX). It is College policy not to discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs or activities, including admissions and employment. Title IX prohibits sex discrimination based on actual or perceived characteristics of sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation, which includes domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and retaliation.
To ensure compliance with federal, state, and local civil rights laws and regulations and to affirm its commitment to promoting the goals of fairness and equity in all aspects of the education program or activity, the College’s Title IX Complaint and Grievance Process provides for prompt, fair, and impartial resolution of all allegations of sex discrimination or retaliation. The College will act on any notice, complaint, or knowledge of a potential violation of this policy or procedure that is received. Incidents may be reported to any Title IX Team member or by completing the online Title IX Complaint Form here. Anonymous reports are accepted via the online reporting form.
Students and employees may report alleged sex discrimination to Confidential Employees. Confidential Employees are prohibited from reporting actual or suspected sex discrimination or retaliation to the Title IX Coordinator in a way that identifies those involved. Instead, a Confidential Employee will provide the Title IX Coordinator’s contact information, explain how to make a complaint of sex discrimination, and that the Title IX Coordinator may be able to offer and coordinate supportive measures.
