Responsible Employees
As a community, we must all make ending sex discrimination a priority. However, some individuals have been identified as having specific responsibility for reporting any behavior that has the potential to be discriminatory or harassing.
Who Is a Responsible Employee?
A responsible employee includes any employee:
- who has the authority to take action to redress sex discrimination;
- who has been given the duty of reporting incidents of sex discrimination or any other misconduct to the Title IX coordinator or other appropriate school designee; or
- an employee whom a person could reasonably believe has this authority or duty.
All faculty and staff, with the exclusion of confidential resources, must report all instances of sexual misconduct to the University’s Title IX Coordinator. To file a report, click here.
Need Responsible Employee Training?
The Title IX Office provides information regarding Title IX of the Education Amendment Act of 1972 as well as NCCU’s Sexual Misconduct Policy to all responsible employees. Participants in the training will gain an understanding of the requirements of Title IX, its applicability to NCCU, and the prohibition against discriminating against individuals on the basis of their sex. In addition, participants will also be trained regarding the Sexual Misconduct Policy, who it applies to at NCCU, how to file a report, the process that will be followed when a responsible employee becomes aware of an act of sexual misconduct, how an allegation of sexual misconduct will be investigated, and ultimately how an allegation of sexual misconduct will be resolved.
To schedule training for your department or yourself, contact the Title IX Coordinator at [email protected].
