XI. Statement of Non-discrimination

Discrimination, Harassment, and Title IX

Maryville College is committed to providing an environment that emphasizes the dignity and worth of every member of its community and that is free from harassment and discrimination based on race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, genetic information, against otherwise qualified persons with disabilities, or based on any other status protected by law. Maryville College is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate in the provision of educational opportunities, employment practices, or benefits. For additional information on nondiscrimination policies and concerns about violations, contact the Director of Disability Resources and Compliance, Thaw Hall Lower Level Room 111, 865-981-8124 or visit this section of the Student Handbook.

All Maryville College employees, except the counselors in the Counseling Center, the Campus Minister, and the PAVE Director, are mandatory reporters for sexual harassment on campus. This means that if you inform any MC employee of a situation that may involve sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, domestic violence, dating violence, or any other form of prohibited gender or sex-based discrimination, the employee is required to report the information to the Title IX Coordinator.

If you have experienced discrimination or harassment and would like to make a report to the College or discuss your options for support from the University, contact:

Title IX Coordinator, Kelly Hawk Fitzgerald
