Notice of Nondiscrimination
Crown College (the “College”) does not discriminate on the basis of sex in administration of its educational policies, financial aid program, and all other programs. In accordance with Title IX, this policy addresses the College’s prohibition of sex discrimination. Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination. Not only are sex discrimination and sexual harassment prohibited by this policy, but they are also prohibited by various federal and state laws, including Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and the Minnesota Human Rights Act. Sexual harassment includes a variety of unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature, and at its most severe form includes sexual violence. Examples of sexual violence include, but are not limited to, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. This policy discusses “sexual misconduct” when referring to sex discrimination in all forms, including sexual harassment and sexual violence. Crown College is committed to a safe and healthy environment and as such will not tolerate sexual misconduct in any form; including but not limited to, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Sexual misconduct violates an individual’s rights and dignity. Not only are they acts of disrespect, violence, aggression or coercion against an individual, they are also violations of this policy and an attack on our College community. In addition, some forms of sexual misconduct are crimes. The College is committed to promptly, impartially, and equitably addressing and resolving all reports of sexual misconduct, including sexual assault, domestic or dating violence, and stalking. When the College finds that such behavior has occurred, it will take steps to prevent the recurrence of the behavior and to correct its effects. Retaliation against an individual who brings a complaint or pursues legal action, or an individual who serves as a witness in an investigation is prohibited and will not be tolerated. This policy is distributed annually, via email, to all students and employees of the College. It is posted on the College website and on the employee and student intranet. This policy also will be provided by the College to any other individual who reports to the College that they have been a victim of sexual misconduct.
