Title IX

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in any federally funded education program or activity. It applies to all aspects of education, including sports, academics and extracurricular activities. 

At Clackamas Community College, we are dedicated to establishing and maintaining a safe and inclusive campus where all have equal access to educational and employment opportunities. We work to promote an environment of sexual respect, safety, and well-being. In its policies and standards, CCC states unequivocally that sexual assault, gender-based harassment, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking are not tolerated in our educational community.

Title IX Coordinators manage complaints regarding:

  • Discrimination, which is being treated differently because of who you are, including your gender, sexual orientation, and pregnancy status. Discrimination occurs when an individual suffers an adverse consequence––such as being deprived of a resource, opportunity or benefit.
  • Harassment, which is unwelcome and unwanted behavior because of who you are or how someone else perceives you.  Harassment under Title IX includes:
    • Dating Violence
    • Domestic Violence
    • Sexual Harassment
    • Sexual Assault
    • Stalking

What to Do

If you, or someone you know, has been affected by sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence or stalking:

  • Know that what happened was not your fault. You are not responsible for the actions of others. No one deserves to be sexually assaulted. No one deserves to be stalked. No one has the right to hurt you or touch you against your will or without consent. It is not your fault.
  • Reach out for support. Call a friend, family member or someone else you trust who can be with you and give you support. You can also call the CCC Counseling Department at 503-594-3176 or Clackamas Women's Services at 888-654-2288 to help you work through this experience, to access other resources and help you begin the healing process.
  • Call CCC Campus Safety at 503-594-6650 if you feel unsafe and/or are seeking an escort to/from class.
