Neither the College nor any other person may intimidate, threaten, coerce, or discriminate against any individual for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege secured by Title IX or these Procedures or because the individual has made a report or complaint, testified, assisted, or participated or refused to participate in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under these Procedures.
Alleged acts of Retaliation will be referred to the Title IX Coordinator or assigned Deputy Title IX Coordinator and may be investigated and resolved under the respective Student Code of Conduct or Employee Policy.
The exercise of rights protected under the First Amendment does not constitute retaliation prohibited under this Policy.
Charging an individual with a Student Code of Conduct/Employee Policy violation for making a materially false statement in bad faith in the course of a Title IX grievance proceeding does not constitute Retaliation prohibited under these Procedures.
