Know Your TIX: CCA Sexual Misconduct Policy & Resources (2020)
This 2020 policy proceeds the August 1, 2024 updated policy and is applicable only to incidents that occurred prior to August 1.
What Is Title IX?
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination against all genders in educational institutions. Schools are required to ensure that campuses are free of sex discrimination and have an established procedure for handling complaints. California College of the Arts has a Title IX Coordinator and two Title IX Deputy Coordinators who handle complaints of sex discrimination, including complaints of sexual assault and harassment, as well as other behaviors listed in the CCA Sexual Misconduct Policy.
Creating a Safe & Accountable Community
California College of the Arts is committed to ending sexual misconduct & supporting survivors. As an employer and educational institution, CCA has a responsibility to take reasonable steps to eliminate sexual misconduct of any kind, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, sexual exploitation, and stalking. We must also work to prevent reoccurrence and to address the effects of these behaviors. The College strongly believes all members of our community should take reasonable and responsible actions to prevent and/or stop acts of sexual misconduct. As a community, we must hold ourselves and others accountable to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone.
