How to File a Title IX Complaint
Please call or e-mail a Title IX Coordinator, or complete the
TITLE IX COMPLAINT FORM if you have a complaint involving sex
discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual violence. This complaint might be about your own personal experience or an experience you are aware of involving a member of the RCCD college community.
Complaints alleging sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, and
sexual violence will be promptly and thoroughly investigated and
resolved. The Title IX Coordinator will contact you to discuss your
complaint and determine if there are any Title IX implications and may
investigate regardless of your participation. For information about
the complaint investigation and resolution process, click on the link

It is unlawful to retaliate against anyone who files a complaint, participates in an

others. Individuals who engage in retaliatory conduct are subject to
disciplinary action, up to and including termination or expulsion.
