Title IX | Anti-Discrimination, Bullying and Harassment

Southern State Community College will not tolerate harassment or related behavior of any kind. It is the policy of the College to maintain a learning and working environment free from bullying, discrimination, sexual harassment or sexual violence. Title IX protects students, employees and third parties with a relationship to the College, whether on or off campus.

What is Title IX?

Title IX is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in any federally funded education program or activity. This includes all of the College's operations, including employment, and college-sponsored athletics and activities that occur on and off campus.

Current Title IX statement:

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.""

How do I report inappropriate behavior?

  • Dr. Peggy Chalker, Title IX Coordinator
  • Brown County Campus
