Sexual Misconduct and Title IX Information
Rowan-Cabarrus Community College is committed to providing a safe and equitable learning environment for all
students and employees. Sexual misconduct, including both sexual harassment and sexual violence, is a formof sexual
discrimination prohibited by Rowan-Cabarrus and Title IX (Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972).
Sexual misconduct may include, but is not limited to sexual non-verbal gestures or noises; sexual comments; sex/
gender-based harassment; sexual exploitation; stalking; non-consensual sexual touching; relationship violence
(domestic and dating violence); and/or sexual violence.
If you have experienced sexual misconduct or sexual discrimination, you should report or seek assistance as soon as
possible. We recognize that deciding whether to make a report and choosing how to proceed are personal decisions that
may evolve over time. At the time a report is made, you do not have to decide whether to request a particular course
of action. Also, you do not need to be certain whether an incident is defined as sexual misconduct. Again, our goal is to
provide a safe learning environment for all.

with the report. Any form of retaliation is considered a violation under Title IX and Campus Sexual Misconduct and
Interpersonal Violence Procedure.
The Campus Code of Conduct and the Campus Sexual Misconduct and Interpersonal Violence Procedure apply to
all students engaged in college activities either on-campus or off-campus. Please refer the college website (

Rowan-Cabarrus encourages all community members to assist in the reduction of sexual misconduct and
relationships violence through exercising safe and creative intervention strategies rather than standing aside as
passive bystander. Safe strategies include watching out for your friends and classmates; believing someone if they tell
you that they have experienced sexual misconduct; reporting an incident you witness; and, if needed, calling 911 or
campus security.
