This annual notice provides important information about your rights and
responsibilities under federal and state laws. By reviewing this notice and

   - Recognize harassment on the basis of race, color, or national origin
   and related misconduct.

   Response Team

What Title IX Covers

Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits colleges and
universities that receive federal funding from discriminating on the basis
of sex in education programs and activities. New York State law provides
additional protections.

You can also review the New York State Student Bill of Rights here
<https://www.plattsburgh.edu/plattslife/health-safety/title-ix/bill-of-rights.html>
.
Types of Prohibited ConductNo one deserves to experience harm. Our campus
policies prohibit:

   - Sexual harassment and hostile environment harassment on the basis of
   sex
   - Quid pro quo harassment
   - Sexual assault
   - Dating and domestic violence
   - Stalking
   - Sexual Exploitation

What Title VI CoversTitle VI is a federal civil rights law that prohibits
colleges and universities that receive federal financial assistance from
discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin in
educational programs and activities.
Types of Prohibited Conduct

No one deserves to experience harm. Harassing conduct may lead to a hostile
environment that violates Title VI when there is unwelcome conduct based on
race, color, or national origin, including shared ancestry or ethnic
characteristics, and when considered under the totality of the
circumstances, the conduct is subjectively and objectively offensive and is
so severe or pervasive that it limits or denies a person's ability to
participate in or benefit from the institution's education, program or
activity.

   Report to University Police, local law enforcement, and/or state
   police—or choose not to report.
