This Grievance Procedure will apply when the following elements are met, in the reasonable determination of the Title IX Coordinator:

·       The conduct alleged occurred on or after August 1, 2024;

·       The conduct alleged occurred in the United States;

·       The conduct alleged occurred in Mohawk Valley Community College’s Education Program or Activity; and 

·       The conduct alleged, if true, would constitute Sex-Based Harassment as defined in this Grievance Procedure.

NOTE: Mohawk Valley Community College has an obligation to address a sex-based Hostile Environment under its Education Program or Activity, even when some conduct alleged to be contributing to the Hostile Environment occurred outside Mohawk Valley Community College’s Education Program or Activity, or outside of the United States if the alleged violation continues at Mohawk Valley Community College.   The  Title IX Coordinator will work with all Complainants to assess such Complaints that may fall under these criteria, and direct to appropriate College Policies and Procedures that may apply if this Grievance Procedure does not.
