Important Title IX Update:

The Claremont Colleges’ shared Title IX policy, “The Claremont Colleges Sexual Misconduct and Sex-Based Harassment Interim Policy” (2024 TCC Interim Policy), is effective August 1, 2024. The 2024 TCC Interim Policy will be the policy and procedures used to address allegations of sexual misconduct and sex-based harassment, as defined in the Policy, alleged to have occurred on or after August 1, 2024.

For allegations of sexual harassment alleged to have occurred between August 14, 2020 – July 31, 2024, the former TCC Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy (2020 TCC Title IX Policy) will be used.

On April 19, 2024, the United States Department of Education released the 2024 Title IX Regulations (2024 Title IX Final Rule) to be implemented at institutions by August 1, 2024. The 2024 Title IX Final Rule included changes that required The Claremont Colleges to revise the then current policy (2020 TCC Title IX Policy) in order to be in compliance with the new rules.

A Review Committee was formed of individuals across TCC and The Claremont Colleges Services (TCCS) in May 2024 to draft a new interim policy that would comply with the 2024 Title IX Final Rule, California state law, and other required laws and regulations. The 2024 TCC Interim Policy was approved by the TCC Presidents at the end of July 2024.

More information about the 2024 Interim Policy and an opportunity for TCC community feedback will be provided during the Fall semester. More information to follow.

What is Title IX?

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects individuals from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. Title IX states:

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

Title IX at The Claremont Colleges

Simply put, as a member of the Claremont Colleges, whether a student, faculty, or staff, you have the right to live, learn, and work in an environment free of sex discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, stalking, and retaliation. Title IX protects us all – regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, race, and citizenship status. Individuals who feel they have been discriminated against and/or harassed on the basis of sex have several reporting options, including filing a formal complaint with their respective College’s Title IX Office.

Policies Prohibiting Sex Discrimination at the 7Cs

The Claremont Colleges Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy (“TCC Title IX Policy”) is the central Title IX policy adopted by the 7Cs that prohibits sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, stalking, and retaliation. Matters that do not fall under the TCC Title IX Policy are referred to the appropriate college policy.

Each College has a designated Title IX Coordinator responsible for the implementation of and compliance with the TCC Title IX Policy and their respective campus policy prohibiting discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, including sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, dating/domestic violence, stalking, and retaliation. The Title IX Coordinator is available to provide information regarding an individual’s rights and options under the TCC Title IX Policy and/or any other the applicable college policy. You may also contact the TCC Title IX Administrator, Barbara Reguengo, at TitleIXAdmin@claremont.edu with any questions about the TCC Title IX Policy.

Note: Filing a formal complaint is not required to access supportive measures, resources, and information. Speaking with your Title IX Coordinator does not constitute a formal complaint and does not initiate the formal grievance process.
