FAQs

What is Title IX?

Title IX is a federal law passed in 1972 that protects students from discrimination based on sex in school programs and activities. At Aultman College, it also ensures a safe campus environment free from sexual misconduct and provides clear steps to take if you experience or witness such behavior.

What Counts as Sexual Misconduct?

Sexual misconduct is a broad term that includes sex discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. It covers unwelcome verbal, nonverbal, or physical behaviors that can occur on or off-campus and may involve students, staff, or outside individuals.

Examples include:

  • Sexual jokes, comments, or innuendos
  • Retaliation for refusing a date or sexual advance
  • Stalking or relationship violence
  • Rape or sexual assault
  • Unwanted hugging, touching, or pressure for sexual activity
  • Sexual content in emails or texts
  • Comments about a person’s body, gender, or sexual relationships

What Should I Do if I Experience Sexual Misconduct?

You always have a choice to report, but reporting early is encouraged, especially in cases of assault where you may need medical care. You can report incidents to:

  • Title IX Coordinator or designated college personnel
  • Confidential resources
  • Aultman Security Officers or local police

Reports to college personnel or security are forwarded to the Title IX Coordinator, who may investigate the incident. Confidential resources do not report your identity unless you give permission.
