Committed to Process Transparency
We want to ensure transparency in our process of handling allegations of Title IX violations. View the Title IX complaint resolution flowchart to see how the complaint process works.
The Title IX Coordinator will consider how to proceed when individuals request that their name or other identifiable information not be shared with the respondent or that no formal action be taken. In such circumstances, the Title IX Coordinator may arrange for limited fact-finding by an investigator to better understand the context of the complaint.
RCC has counseling professionals to provide services to our registered students through a variety of methods: in-person, via phone, or Zoom - which ever works best for you. Counselors can provide personal counseling, career counseling, assistance with finding out about community resources as well as support navigating RCC processes such as a Title IX report or complaint.
Retaliation can take many forms, including intimidation, threats, abuse or violence. RCC prohibits any attempt to seek retribution against an individual or group of individuals involved in filing a report or complaint, participating in the disciplinary process, or opposing in a reasonable manner an action believed to constitute a violation of college policy. To learn more, see the applicable Administrative Procedure 3434, Responding to Sex Discrimination Under Title IX.
