Title IX and Gender-Based Misconduct Policy
Prevention and Assessment
A. Prevention Education
Sarah Lawrence College conducts a comprehensive student and employee onboarding and ongoing education campaign to educate members of its community about discrimination, harassment, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual assault. The College trains all new employees and students (whether first-year or transfer, undergraduate, or graduate) regarding its policy, resources, institutional assistance, and consequences and sanctions for individuals who commit these violations. Additionally, the College offers all students access to such training programs and educational activities.
The College requires that each student leader and officer of student organizations recognized by the College complete training on domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual assault prior to receiving recognition or registration, and requires that each student-athlete complete training prior to participating in intercollegiate athletic competition.
The College regularly assesses its programs and policies to determine effectiveness and relevance.
B. Campus Climate Assessments
Consistent with New York State law, the College will conduct campus climate assessments which will be administered no less than every other year to ascertain general awareness including student experiences with and knowledge of reporting and College adjudicatory processes. Climate assessments will be developed using standard and commonly recognized research methods.
