Important Title IX Update:

As you may have heard, on January 9, 2025, a federal court vacated the new 2024 Title IX Regulations, which were adopted and implemented by The Claremont Colleges on August 1, 2024 through the consortium-wide policy, The Claremont Colleges Sexual Misconduct and Sex-Based Harassment Interim Policy (“TCC SMCBH Policy”). As a result, The TCC SMSBH Interim Policy initially implemented on August 1, 2024 is being revised to ensure compliance with the 2020 Title IX Final Rule and California state law.

In the interim, the definitions of Prohibited Conduct in The TCC SMSBH Interim Policy remain in effect. Sex-based harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking and retaliation and all other forms of Prohibited Conduct will continue to be prohibited as defined. Students and employees should continue to report any incidents of Prohibited Conduct to their Title IX Coordinator.

The revisions will primarily affect the procedures to be used to resolve complaints of Prohibited Conduct. If you have any questions about the procedures to be used in your case, please contact your Title IX Coordinator.

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 and California law 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.

Each TCC 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 TCC college Title IX Coordinator is available to provide information regarding an individual’s rights and options under the TCC SMSBH Policy and/or any other applicable college policy. You may also contact the Assistant Vice President, and TCC Title IX Administrator, Barbara Reguengo, at TitleIXAdmin@claremont.edu with any questions related to TCC policies and procedures that address sex-based harassment and discrimination.

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 automatically initiate the formal grievance process.
