The policy extends to all students and employees and applicants for admission and/or employment. Further, it extends to all programs and activities supported by the College.

Sex includes: sex, sex stereotypes, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and pregnancy or parenting status.

Morris Brown College also prohibits retaliation against any person opposing discrimination or participating in any discrimination investigation or complaint process internal or external to the institution. Sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and stalking are forms of sex discrimination, which are prohibited under Title IX and by the Morris Brown policy.

Any member of the campus community, guest, or visitor who acts to deny, deprive, or limit the educational, employment, or opportunities and/or benefits of any member of the Morris Brown community on the basis of sex is in violation of the policy and procedures of the Title IX and Non-Discrimination policy.

Any person may report sex discrimination to the Title IX Coordinator. A report may be made at any time (including during non-business hours) by logging on to www.morrisbrown.edu.

Questions regarding Title IX, including its application and/or concerns about noncompliance, should be directed to the Title IX Coordinator.

Any person who, in good faith, reports such incidents will be protected from retaliation, threats of retaliation, discharge/dismissal, or other discrimination including but not limited to discrimination in compensation or terms and conditions of employment/enrollment that are directly related to the disclosure of such information. In addition, no one may be adversely affected because they refused to carry out a directive which constitutes fraud or is a violation of local, state, federal or other applicable laws and regulations.
