What is Title IX?

Title IX protects individuals from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal assistance. Title IX states:

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.

- Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972.

Lansing Community College prohibits sex discrimination, sex-based harassment, and sexual misconduct in its employment and educational programs. Students, employees, and visitors are encouraged to report any allegations of sex discrimination, sex-based harassment, and sexual misconduct through the links in the ‘To File A Complaint’ section.

The College's Board of Trustees policies that address sex discrimination, sex-based harassment, and sexual misconduct include:

What is a Title IX Coordinator?

The College has three Title IX Coordinators, Christine Thompson, Greg Lattig (for allegations against a student) and JR Beauboeuf (for allegations against an employee, guest or vendor to the College). Contact information for each of these Coordinators is found below.

A Title IX Coordinator plays an essential role in ensuring that every person in the LCC community is aware of their rights under Title IX and that the College complies with its legal obligations under Title IX. Title IX Coordinators also develop training, policies, and procedures. They are trained in both Title IX and investigations and act as campus resources for those who need more information.

Mandatory Reporters

All LCC employees, including executives, administrators, faculty, and support personnel are "Mandatory Reporters." Mandatory reporters are required to report all alleged sex discrimination, sex-based harassment, and sexual misconduct, including retaliation, to a Title IX Coordinator. Student employees are not mandatory reporters but may choose to report alleged sexual harassment and sexual misconduct.

Counselors are not mandatory reporters, if the information shared with them is kept confidential. Allegations brought to counselors outside of their confidential roles must be reported to a Title IX Coordinator.

Prevention and Outreach

Campus Landscapes Wednesday September 5, 2018

All students are required to complete an online Title IX and Sexual Misconduct training within the first two weeks of their first semester and then annually through D2L. Additional educational programming is offered to all students throughout the academic year. The College mandates training for all employees at the time of hire and then annually after that. Throughout each academic year, both Title IX Coordinators provide the LCC community with additional educational resources.

Complainant Resources

Many times, those making a complaint of sex discrimination, sex-based harassment, and sexual misconduct would like support beyond what a Title IX Coordinator can provide. The Campus Resources document below contains a list of internal and external resources available to anyone who is part of the LCC Community.
