The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for overseeing the CCA’s efforts at training, prevention and education as it relates under this Policy.

As a part of CCA’s commitment to maintaining its campus and programs free from sexual misconduct, this Policy shall be disseminated widely to the CCA community through publications, websites, student orientations, and other appropriate channels of communication.

All students, staff and faculty will receive an email each academic year with references to the policies on the website.

The Title IX Coordinator, the Deputy Title IX Coordinators, and the Intake Officer will receive appropriate training for the intake and handling of reports of sexual misconduct under this Policy, including those that are victim-centered and trauma informed.

CCA will also provide all other supervisory employees with online training every two years.

In addition, the Office of Student Affairs will provide programs and materials to students that educate students on sexual misconduct and how to prevent it from occurring. Education programs shall promote the awareness of rape, acquaintance rape, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and shall be designed to prevent all misconduct prohibited under this Policy from occurring, to empower victims, to identify safe and positive options for bystander intervention, and to help recognize warning signs of abusive behavior and how to avoid potential attacks.

Students, faculty and staff of CCA are all encouraged to take part in education and training designed to prevent sexual misconduct.

Getting Help: CCA encourages all members of the CCA community who believe they have been victims of sexual misconduct to report these incidents to local law enforcement authorities and to seek medical attention where appropriate.

CCA also encourages all members of the CCA community to report any incident(s) of possible sexual misconduct to CCA under these Policies and to get help from as many resources as possible.
