Title IX at MCPHS University – It’s All About Respect!

To the MCPHS University Community:

Charles F. Monahan, Jr. MCPHS University is committed to creating and fostering a positive learning, working and living environment where all members of our community can thrive. Federal laws, like Title IX (prohibiting discrimination based on sex or gender), the Clery Act (mandating reporting of crimes on campus), and the 2013 Campus SaVE Act (broadening the scope of responsibility to include dating violence, domestic violence and stalking), embody the obligations of colleges and universities to provide a safe and secure educational environment free from discrimination, harassment and violence.

It is important that all members of the MCPHS University community be part of our support and response systems for sexual and gender-based harassment and violence. We must all work together to sustain and improve robust and effective practices to address this serious issue.

As you review the information concerning Title IX on the MCPHS University web site, please feel free to contact the University’s Title IX Coordinator, Dawn Ballou, or me directly to express any concerns or to provide your suggestions to improve the University’s policies and practices.

Sincerely,
Charles F. Monahan, Jr.
President
