Policy on Sex Discrimination and Gender-Based Violence - Title IX

The University of Hawai‘i is committed to maintaining and promoting safe and respectful campus environments that are free from sex discrimination and gender-based violence. This includes:

Sex Discrimination
Sexual Harassment
Gender-Based Harassment, including harassment based on actual or perceived sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression
Sexual Exploitation
Sexual Assault
Domestic and/or Dating Violence
Stalking

Conduct of this nature constitutes illegal discrimination as set forth in Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972, relevant sections of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Hawai‘i laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Any person believing that they have been subjected to any of the above should report the prohibited behavior immediately to one of Leeward CC's Title IX Coordinators. Retaliation against anyone who has reported this type of conduct or who participates in any resolution process is strictly prohibited.
