Title IX Reporting鈥

四虎影视 of Art and Design (鈥淩ingling鈥 or 鈥渢he College鈥) is committed to creating and maintaining a community in which students, faculty, and staff can work together in an atmosphere free from all forms of discrimination.

Specifically, every member of the College community should be aware that 四虎影视 is opposed to discrimination on the basis of sex, gender, gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation, and that such behavior is prohibited by College policy. Such discrimination includes harassment on the basis of these traits, as well as sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking.

Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) is a Federal law which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education, programs or activities. It provides that no person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity provided through the College.

This is not only the policy of the College, it is also the mandate under applicable federal and state laws and applies with regard to the College鈥檚 employment, admissions, academic programs, scholarship and loan programs, and other College administered programs.

Sexual Assault Prevention & Healthy Intimate Relationship Education

What is SAPHIRE?
四虎影视鈥檚 Sexual Assault Prevention & Healthy Intimate Relationship Education (SAPHIRE) program is based on a wellness prevention model of sexual assault and other gender based violence/discrimination.听

SAPHIRE helps to educate the 四虎影视 of Art and Design听campus community听about听resources for students who have been victims/survivors of sexual assault or other gender based discrimination, for bystanders and secondary survivors, and for any student or staff member听who wants to learn more about how to develop healthy intimate relationships. The program helps听to:

  1. Educate the RCAD community.
  2. Spread awareness about sexual assault.
  3. Empower the student body to be proactive bystanders.
  4. Create a campus climate that promotes healthy relationship behaviors and interpersonal effectiveness.

We are here to help
Whether you experienced a trauma in childhood, while in college, know someone who has been victimized, have experienced any gender based discrimination, or are having difficulty in your relationships, we are here to collaboratively support you through your recovery. It is incredibly common to experience self-blame, guilt, anxiety, depression, and feel isolated during and following these difficult experiences. We want you to know you are not alone in whatever way you are struggling.听The Peterson Counseling Center听is a听confidential听resource that is here to support you and can also be helpful in discussing your options. Talking with a counselor is not the same as filing an incident report with any other staff member and there will be no follow up investigation. You can view more information on our website or call us at 941-893-2855 to setup an appointment. For more information on filing a Title IX incident report please contact Student Life or the College鈥檚 Title IX Coordinator.听
