Title IX Syllabus Insert

Faculty are encouraged to put information related to Title IX and their reporting obligations in their syllabi each semester. This helps students make informed choices about whom they share information if they disclose incidents of sexual misconduct..

Please note that if you disclose to your professor any experience related to sex-based harassment (including sexual assault, dating violence, and/or stalking, sexual harassment or sex and gender-based discrimination),your professor will inform the Title IX Coordinator, lkoenig@ithaca.edu, of all relevant information, including your name. The Title IX Coordinator may contact you to inform you of certain rights and resources and the College may take initial steps to address health or safety concerns. The college will take initial steps to address the incident(s), protect, and, support those directly affected, and enhance the safety of our community. The Title IX Coordinator will work with you to determine the best way to proceed.

Please also be aware that if you disclose to your professor that you are pregnant or have a pregnancy related condition, your professor should make you aware of the Title IX Coordinator’s name and contact information, Linda Koenig (lkoenig@ithaca.edu) so that you may contact her to discuss available supportive resources and rights. Your professor will also direct you to https://www.ithaca.edu/sexual-harassment-and-assault-response-education/supportive-resources-and-options/information-pregnant-students to help you be aware of your rights and resources.

Information shared in class assignments, class discussions, and at public events do not constitute an official disclosure, and faculty and staff do not have to report these to the Title IX Coordinator. Faculty and staff should be sure that access to campus and community resources related to sexual misconduct are available to students in the case these subjects do arise. Any other disclosure to faculty and staff needs to be reported to the Title IX Coordinator.For more information: https://www.ithaca.edu/share
