Title IX and Endicott College’s Response to Sexual Misconduct

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 requires that all educational institutions that receive federal funds or financial assistance prohibit sex discrimination in their education programs and activities. It reads, in relevant part,

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

The College will act to prevent, address, and eliminate all forms of gender-based discrimination and misconduct, which includes five transgressions specifically identified as Title IX violations: sexual assault, sexual harassment, intimate partner violence, stalking, and sexual exploitation. The College has policies, procedures, and practices that facilitate prompt, thorough, and fair investigations and adjudication of complaints of gender-based and sexual misconduct, whether they are Title IX violations or not. Additionally, through programs, services, and outreach, the College fosters an environment that raises awareness of these issues while providing support to those who experience gender-based discrimination or any form of sexual harassment or misconduct. 

Reporting

Anyone who has been subject to any sexual misconduct is encouraged to report the incident to the Title IX Coordinator or any of the Deputy Title IX Coordinators listed below. Students are also encouraged to report any incident to any residence director, residence assistant or other student affairs personnel. Employees are encouraged to inform their manager and/or human resources staff.

Submit A Report To Title IX

If you have made a report under Title IX, interim/supportive measures are available to support you. Accommodations can be made to those who report Title IX in academics, living arrangements, transportation, and on-campus work. If you need interim/supportive measures, simply email the Title IX Coordinator.

Confidentiality

The College encourages all Endicott community members to report an incidence of sexual misconduct. However, the College recognizes that not every individual will be prepared to make a report to the College or to law enforcement. For those individuals who are not prepared to make a report, several resources are available with staff who are obligated by law to maintain confidentiality, below:

Director of Spirituality and Belonging: Gail Cantor, at the Center for Belonging and Inclusion at 978-232-2163.

Counseling Center: In an emergency, contact Public Safety at 978-232-2222 to put you in contact with the COC (Counselor On Call). During office hours, you may contact the Counseling Center at 978-232-2106.

Health Center (available during regular business hours): 978-232-2104

Northeast Rape Crisis Centers: Hotline: 877-509-9922

If an individual requests that a report of sexual misconduct remain confidential, the College will make all reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of and prevent the disclosure of the identities of the parties involved in a sexual misconduct matter. However, information regarding alleged sexual misconduct must be handled in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. Individuals should understand, for example, that under conditions of potential imminent harm to the community, the College may be required by law to inform law enforcement and the community.
