Title IX laws protect all students, faculty, and staff from sexual misconduct and harassment. Portland Community College (PCC) works to make sure everyone feels safe and supported on campus. This presentation explains how Title IX works at PCC. Presenters explain the roles of different college offices and what “responsible employees” must do when they learn about an incident. Attendees also learn practical, trauma-informed strategies for talking to students who share difficult experiences.
Outcomes
- Understand wraparound supports at PCC for students impacted by gender-based violence, dating violence, sexual violence, and stalking.
- Identify key campus resources and offices, including the Office of Title IX, Hope Services, Care Team, and identity-based resource centers.
- Learn about the prevalence of gender-based violence at PCC and how the college responds.
- Clarify the role and reporting responsibilities of “responsible employees” versus confidential staff.
- Practice trauma-informed communication methods (like the 3 Rs and ABC models) to support students with care and clear boundaries.

PCC offers this limited open forum as an extension of the respectful, well-reasoned discourse we expect in our classroom discussions. As such, we welcome all viewpoints, but monitor comments to be sure they stick to the topic and contribute to the conversation. We will remove them if they contain or link to abusive material, personal attacks, profanity, off-topic items, or spam. This is the same behavior we require in our hallways and classrooms. Our online spaces are no different.
