Title IX and Non-Discrimination

Noorda-COM adheres to all federal, state, and local civil rights laws prohibiting sex discrimination and sex-based harassment in employment and education. The Noorda-COM does not discriminate in its admissions practices, employment practices, or educational programs or activities on the basis of sex, except as may be permitted by law. As a recipient of federal financial assistance for education activities, Noorda-COM is required by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) to ensure that all of its education programs and activities do not discriminate on the basis of sex. Sex includes sex assigned at birth, sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy or related conditions. Sex discrimination is prohibited under Title IX and by Noorda-COM Policy, and it includes sex-based harassment, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, stalking, quid pro quo harassment, hostile environment harassment, disparate treatment, and disparate impact.

Noorda-COM also prohibits retaliation against any person opposing sex discrimination or sex-based harassment or participating in any internal or external investigation or complaint process related to allegations of sex discrimination.

Any Noorda-COM faculty member, employee, or student who acts to deny, deprive, or limit the educational, employment, residential, or social access, opportunities, and/or benefits of any member of the Noorda-COM community on the basis of sex is in violation of the Title IX Policy.

Any person may report sex discrimination (whether or not the person reporting is alleged to have experienced the conduct) in person, by mail, by telephone, by video, or by email, using the contact information listed for the Title IX Coordinator (below). A report may be made at any time (including during non-business hours) by completing this form or by contacting the Title IX officer at 801-376-6004.

Questions regarding Title IX, including its application and/or concerns about noncompliance, should be directed to the Title IX Coordinator. For more information, please contact the Title IX Coordinator.
