Know Your IX: How faculty can support Title IX
Posted by anne.grey | Start the discussion
Presenters: Charisse Loughery and Caroline Bartlett
Summary
In this presentation, Charisse Loughery and Caroline Bartlett explore how PCC faculty and staff play a vital role in connecting students to Title IX support and holistic care services. The session clarifies how campus departments—including the Division of Student Support and Intervention, the Office of Title IX, and Hope Services—collaborate to provide wraparound assistance for students impacted by gender-based violence, sexual misconduct, stalking, pregnancy, or parenting needs.
The presenters outline employee reporting roles across the college, emphasizing that most PCC staff serve as “responsible employees” obligated to submit Title IX referrals within one business day of a disclosure. They detail the key differences between responsible employees, confidential/privileged advocates (such as Hope Services and Counseling), and non-reporting identity-based resource centers. Additionally, the presentation covers supportive measures available to students—such as academic accommodations, tuition waivers, and safety planning—along with trauma-informed framework techniques like the ABC method to help faculty offer supportive responses while maintaining professional 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.
