Sexual Misconduct, Intimate Partner Violence, and Stalking
The 2024 amendments to the Title IX regulations were vacated by a federal court in January 2025. As a result, the College is rescinding its 2024 Title IX policy documents and is in the process of reinstating its 2020 Title IX policy documents. The reinstated 2020 policy documents will be posted as soon as possible.
As evidenced by its Title IX Sex Discrimination, Sex-Based Harassment and Sexual Misconduct Policy, Berkeley College prohibits sex discrimination, sex-based harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence and dating violence, sexual exploitation, and stalking.
