Title IX is a federal law that protects students, educators, and school employees against all forms of sex or gender discrimination, including: sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual exploitation, dating and domestic violence, stalking, and retaliation. Marshall does not suggest that any case is more or less important but instead is a reflection of federal regulations that apply only to a specifically-identified set of cases.
The Marshall BOG Policy sets forth how Marshall will address such issues.
Only a narrow category of cases fall under Title IX. Those cases meeting the definitions and jurisdictional elements below will follow the Marshall procedures below:
Marshall Title IX Procedures for Students
Marshall Title IX Procedures for Employees
Those cases involving students that do not fit within the narrow category set by Title IX will follow the Marshall procedures below:
Marshall Non-Title IX Procedures for Students
Amnesty Policy from the Marshall BOG GA-1 Policy
Marshall’s highest priority is the physical and mental health, safety, and well-being of individual Students and the campus community. An element of promoting safety is providing clear, responsible methods of reporting and addressing incidents of sexual violence/misconduct.
Therefore, in order to remove potential barriers to reporting sexual violence/misconduct, Marshall may not charge students participating in the Title IX process with violating any Prohibited Conduct or the Student Code of Conduct regarding the personal use of alcohol and/or other drugs if they report such conduct within a Title IX matter.
Recognized Student Organizations may also qualify for amnesty if a member(s) of that organization reports Prohibited Conduct to the Title IX Office in good faith.
