Title IX
“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance…” 20 U.S.C. § 1681
Huntington University is committed to providing a workplace and educational environment, as well as other benefits, programs, and activities, that are free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. To ensure compliance with federal and state civil rights laws and regulations, and to affirm its commitment to promoting the goals of fairness and equity in all aspects of the educational program or activity, Huntington University has developed internal policies and procedures that provide a prompt, fair, and impartial process for those involved in an allegation of discrimination or harassment. Whenever sexual offenses occur, trust and the sense of Christian community the university seeks to develop are violated. Such violations not only impact those directly involved in the incident, but also, subcommunities of the university that affect the broader community as a whole.
Should members of the university community have knowledge of a sexual harassment, they are urged to report the incident to campus authorities immediately.
A report can be filed with the Title IX Coordinator by submitting a complaint form.
Huntington University has, in accordance with Title IX, appointed a Title IX Coordinator. The university’s Title IX Coordinator is the individual designated by the university President with responsibility for carrying out the university’s responsibilities under Title IX, including receiving reports of alleged violations of Title IX from Responsible Employees, overseeing the university’s response to Title IX complaints, and identifying and addressing recurring or systemic violations. The Coordinator has knowledge of the requirements of Title IX and the university’s related policies and procedures.
The Huntington University Title IX Coordinator is Andy McKee, Director of Human Resources. Anyone can make a complaint about conduct that violates this policy to the Title IX Coordinator by calling 260-359-4200, or emailing amckee@huntington.edu.
