Understand sexual misconduct is a form of harassment.
Sexual misconduct is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX. Northeast State is committed to eliminating any and all acts of sexual misconduct and discrimination on its campuses. As set forth in NeSCC Policy 07:02:00 - Safe Campus, sexual misconduct includes dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault. The College strictly prohibits these offenses. Any allegation of sexual misconduct will be investigated and adjudicated according to the Safe Campus policy.
Each college must designate a Title IX Coordinator. At Northeast State, this person is the Director of Equity and Compliance. The duties of the Director of Equity and Compliance 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.
