University-wide 第九条 Policy

Rivier University has up日期d its 第九条 Policy in accordance with new federal 第九条 regulations effective Friday, 8月14日, 2020. In May 2020, the U.S. Department of Education issued new 第九条 regulations mandating how colleges and universities investigate and adjudicate sexual misconduct. 第九条 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs and activities in institutions that receive federal assistance. The University’s 第九条 Policy has been prepared to encompass student, 教师, and 工作人员 第九条 practices, providing much needed consistency. 新 University-wide 第九条 Policy can be found here and is effective immediately.

If you have any questions regarding the new regulations and policy, please feel free to contact Colleen Mills at cmills@blueknightsqciv.com 和/或博士. Paula Randazza, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs at prandazza@blueknightsqciv.com
