Northeast State Student Planner & Safety Handbook 2017-18 - page 15

Sexual Misconduct is considered harassment, and therefore, acts of
alleged sexual misconduct will be investigated in the same manner as
harassment cases by College officials. This investigation is separate
from any police or law enforcement investigation.
Each college must designate a Title IX Coordinator. At Northeast State,
this person is Leigh Hornsby, the Equity & Compliance Officer, located
in Room P316 of the Pierce Administration Building. The duties of the
Equity & Compliance Officer are:
 Oversee all complaints of sex discrimination and identify and
address any patterns or systemic problems;
 Be available to meet with students, faculty, and/or staff; and
 Thoroughly investigate accusations or reports of harassment.
To contact the Equity & Compliance Officer, please email
