Title IX

Power-Based Violence and Sexual Misconduct

In accordance with LCTCS Policy #9.001 Power -Based Violence and LCTCS Policy #9.002 Title IX Grievance Procedures, Delgado Community College is committed to creating and maintaining an environment in which sexual violence against men and women is not tolerated. Intervening in such instances helps to foster a safe environment for all, while sending a message that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated and is unacceptable in our community. Let’s be a part of a college community where respect, consent and responsibility are valued, we are all responsible for ensuring that no one has to endure sexual violence of any sort.  See LCTCS Title IX webpage for additional information.

Delgado Community College has established processes for addressing allegations of Power-Based Violence and Sexual Misconduct in accordance with LCTCS Policy #9.001 and #9.002 as per the following College policy and procedures:

Delgado has trained Confidential Advisors who serve to aid persons involved in a sexual misconduct complaint in the resolution process as a confidential resource.  See current list of Delgado Title IX Confidential Advisors. Delgado also has memoranda of understanding in place between local law enforcement agencies and the College to ensure a coordinated effort regarding Title IX / Power-Based Violence matters.
