  • Recent Policy Changes
    On May 6, 2020, the United States Department of Education issued its Final Rule of Title IX Sexual Harassment, effective August 14, 2020. These regulations required schools to make changes to their policy and procedures for certain types of sexual misconduct. In response, baby直播app has updated its policies accordingly.

    What’s not changing:
    • baby直播app will continue to prohibit all forms of discrimination and harassment, including sexual misconduct, previously covered under the Policy on Discrimination and Harassment and the Policy on Sexual Misconduct.
    • The University will continue to respond to all reports of discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct.
    What is changing:
    • The Policy on Discrimination and Harassment and the Policy on Sexual Misconduct have been combined into one policy, the Policy on Institutional Equity.
    • A subset of sexual misconduct, behavior defined as “Title IX Sexual Harassment,” will now be addressed by a new policy, the Interim Policy on Title IX Sexual Harassment. To fall under this policy, allegations must be:
      • Title IX Sexual Harassment: Quid Pro Quo (this for that) sexual harassment by an employee; severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive unwelcome conduct on the basis of sex; sexual assault; dating violence; domestic violence; or stalking;
      • That occurred in the University’s Education Program or Activity: locations, events, and circumstances in the United States in which baby直播app exercised substantial control over both the Respondent (the person accused of violating the policy) and the context in which the alleged violation occurred (including any building owned or controlled by a student organization officially recognized by northwestern; AND
      • That occurred on or after August 14, 2020.
    • Sexual misconduct that does not fall under the purview of the Interim Policy on Title IX Sexual Harassment may be addressed under the Policy on Institutional Equity.
    • The process for addressing formal complaints of discrimination and harassment against a student will now be under the purview of the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX Compliance.
