Grievance Procedures
Any student or employee that has a complaint regarding sexual harassment should provide in writing their allegation to either the Title IX Coordinator or the Team Leader of the location they attend at. In response to a formal complaint of sexual harassment, Joseph’s College must follow a Title IX formal complaint process that complies with the new standards set forth in 34CFR 106.45.
Sexual harassment means conduct on the basis of sex that satisfies one or more of the following:
• Unwelcome conduct determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the school’s education program or activity.
• An employee of Joseph’s College conditioning the provision of an aid, benefit, or service of the school on an individual’s participation in unwelcome sexual conduct; or
• Sexual assault, as defined in the Cleary Act, or dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking as defined in VAWA.
Joseph’s College must respond to sexual harassment, with or without a formal complaint, when:
• The school has actual knowledge of the alleged sexual harassment.
• The alleged sexual harassment occurred in an education program or activity of the school; and
• The alleged sexual harassment was against a person physically located in the United States.
Actual Knowledge means notice of sexual harassment or allegations of sexual harassment to a school’s Title IX Coordinator or any official of the school who has authority to institute corrective measures on behalf of Joseph’s College.
• The mere ability or obligation to report sexual harassment or to inform a student about how to report sexual harassment, or having been trained to do so, does NOT qualify an individual as one who has authority to institute corrective measures on behalf of the institution.
The Title IX Coordinator must promptly contact the complainant to:
• Discuss the availability of supportive measures.
• Consider the complaints’ wishes with respect to supportive measures.
• Inform the complainant of the availability of supportive measures with or without the filing of a formal complaint; and
• Explain to the complainant the process of filing a formal complaint.
An education program or activity of the school includes “locations, events, or circumstances over which the school exercised substantial control over both the respondent and the context in which the sexual harassment occurs, and also includes any building owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by a postsecondary institution”.
Joseph’s College must respond “promptly” and “in a manner that is not deliberately indifferent.” The Joseph’s College Cosmetology Team Leader will complete the Daily Log-Crimes Reported form and submit it to the corporate office and the Lead Title IX Coordinator within 24 hours after the information becomes available after notifying the local law enforcement. It will be also indicated on the monthly Crime Awareness and Campus Security Form and will withhold the names of victims as confidential.
Joseph’s College response must treat complainants and respondents equitably by offering supportive measures to a complainant, and by following a compliant grievance process before the imposition of any disciplinary sanctions against a respondent.
Definitions:
Complainant: An individual who is alleged to be the victim of conduct that could constitute sexual harassment. Respondent: An individual who has been reported to be the perpetrator of conduct that could constitute sexual harassment. Consent: Joseph’s College is not required to adopt a definition of consent with respect to sexual assault.
Possible sanctions or protective measures that Joseph’s College Cosmetology may impose following a final determination of an occurrence of Sexual Harassment, i.e. domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking will be dismissal of said student from attendance.
Joseph’s College is permitted to remove a respondent from campus on an emergency basis, provided:
• That the school undertakes an individualized safety and risk analysis.
• Determines that an immediate threat to the physical health or safety of any student or other individual arising from the allegations of sexual harassment justifies removal; and
• Provides the respondent with notice and an opportunity to challenge the decision immediately following the removal.
Joseph’s College is also permitted to place a “non-student employee respondent” on administrative leave during the “pendency of (its) grievance process.”
The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for coordinating the effective implementation of supportive measures.
Supportive measures mean non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate, as reasonably available, and without fee or charge to the complainant or the respondent before or after the filing of a formal complaint or where no formal complaint has been filed.
Such measures are designed to restore or preserve equal access to the school’s education program or activity without unreasonably burdening the other party, including measures designed to protect the safety of all parties or the school’s educational environment, or deter sexual harassment. The school must maintain as confidential any supportive measures provided to the complainant or respondent, to the extent that maintaining such confidentiality would not impair the ability of the school to provide the supportive measures.
Investigators must not have a conflict of interest or bias for or against complainants or respondents generally or an individual complainant or respondent. Investigators must objectively evaluate all relevant evidence-including both inculpatory and exculpatory evidence.
Investigators must create an investigative report that fairly summarizes relevant evidence. Evidence about the complainant’s sexual predisposition or prior sexual behavior is not relevant, unless:
• Such questions and evidence about the complainant’s prior sexual behavior are offered to prove that someone other than the respondent committed the conduct alleged by the complainant; or
• If the questions and evidence concern specific incidents of the complainant’s prior sexual behavior with respect to the respondent and are offered to prove consent.
Formal Complaint Procedures
A formal complaint of Title IX sexual harassment means a document filed by a complainant or signed by the Title IX Coordinator alleging sexual harassment against a respondent and requesting that the school investigate the allegation of sexual harassment. The phrase “document filed by a complainant” means a document or electronic submission that contains the complainant’s physical or digital signature, or otherwise indicates that the complainant is the person filing the formal complaint.
• A formal complaint may be filed with the Title IX Coordinator in person, by mail or by electronic mail and by any additional method designated by the school.
• At the time of filing a formal complaint, a complainant must be participating in or attempting to participate in the education program or activity of the school with which the formal complaint is filed.
State the standard of evidence to be used, whether that standard is the preponderance of the evidence or clear and convincing standards and apply the same standards of evidence for formal complaints against students as for formal complaints against employees, including faculty, and apply the same standard of evidence to all formal complaints of sexual harassment.
Upon receipt of a formal complaint, Joseph’s College must provide written notice to parties that includes:
• Formal complaint process, including any informal resolution option.
• Sufficient detail of the identities of the parties, if known, the conduct allegedly constituting sexual harassment, and the date and location of the alleged incident, if known.

Joseph’s College Cosmetology will do an investigation into the allegations provided by the complainant. Any witnesses named by the complainant or respondent will be interviewed to determine if there is relevant evidence. The interviewer will try to determine what evidence is relevant based on the elements of the offense. Specific questions based on known facts, documentary evidence and other interviews will be determined by the interviewer. Both complainants and respondents will be notified that there will be rules about appropriate conduct at the interview that require all participants to behave in an orderly manner. The interview will be terminated if an advisor or participant is not acting appropriately.
An Investigate Report summarizing the relevant evidence shall be provided to the decision-maker including but not limited to:
• The investigator shall not reach any conclusions.
• Put decision-maker in best position to understand relevant evidence.
• Demonstrate to parties that Joseph’s College Cosmetology took the allegation seriously and responded appropriately.
• Know that the report may be “Exhibit 1”.
Informal Resolution
Joseph’s College Cosmetology may not, under any circumstance, require a student or employee to waive the right to an investigation and adjudication of formal complaints under Title IX. Similarly, Joseph’s College Cosmetology may not require the parties to participate in the informal resolution of a formal complaint or even offer an informal resolution process unless a formal complaint is filed.
However, at any time prior to reaching a final determination, a school may facilitate an informal resolution that does not involve a full investigation and adjudication, if Joseph’s College Cosmetology:
• Provides the parties with a written notice disclosing (1) the allegations, (2) the requirements of the informal resolution process (3) the circumstances under which it precludes the parties from resuming a formal complaint arising from the same facts, and (3) any other consequences of participating in the informal resolution process, (4) the records that will be maintained or could be shared.
• Obtains the parties’ voluntary, written consent to the informal resolution.
An informal resolution is not available to resolve allegations that an employee sexually harassed a student. At any time prior to agreeing to a resolution, any party has the right to withdraw from the informal resolution and to resume the formal complaint process.
Procedures for Joseph’s College Cosmetology disciplinary action in cases of alleged domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking include:

Joseph’s College will dismiss a formal complaint of sexual harassment if, at any time:
• A complainant notifies the Title IX Coordinator in writing that he or she would like to withdraw.
• The respondent is no longer enrolled or employed by Joseph’s College; or
• Specific circumstances prevent the school from gathering sufficient evidence to reach a determination.
Upon a required or optional dismissal, schools must promptly and simultaneously send written notice to the parties.
Joseph’s College Cosmetology will protect the confidentiality of victims, including how publicly available recordkeeping will be accomplished without the inclusion of identifying information about the victim, to the extent permissible by law. Joseph’s College Cosmetology will provide written notification of students and employees about existing counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance, and other services available for victims both on-campus and in the community.
Throughout the investigation, Joseph’s College must afford both parties an equal opportunity to review and inspect any evidence that:
• Was obtained as part of the investigation; and
• Is directly related to the allegations.
This includes evidence upon which the school does not intend to rely in reaching a determination, and inculpatory and exculpatory evidence, whether obtained from a party or other source. Generally, Joseph’s College must provide access early enough so that each party can meaningfully respond to the evidence prior to the conclusion of the investigation. Prior to issuing the investigative report, Joseph’s College must send parties all evidence subject to inspection and review and afford at least 10 days to submit a written response. Ten (10) days prior to hearing or other determination, Joseph’s College must send investigative reports to parties for review and written responses. At and during any hearing, Joseph’s College must make all evidence available to parties and afford equal opportunity to review, including purposes of cross examination.
Joseph’s College’s formal complaint process must not require, allow, rely upon, or otherwise use questions or evidence that constitute, or seek disclosure of, information protected under a legally recognized privilege, unless the person holding such privilege has waived the privilege.
Standard of Evidence
Joseph’s College will use preponderance of the evidence. Preponderance of the evidence means a particular fact or event was more likely than not to have occurred.
Appeal Processes & Standards
Appeals may be granted on the following basis:
• A procedural irregularity that affected the outcome.
• New evidence that was not reasonably available at the time determination or dismissal was made and could affect the outcome; and
• The Title IX Coordinator, investigator, or adjudicator had a conflict of interest or bias that affected the outcome of the matter.
Joseph’s College offers an appeal equally to both parties on an additional basis.
Supportive Measures
Joseph’s College must provide supportive measures by offering Counseling, mutual restrictions on contact between the parties, changes in school locations, and leave of absences.
Record Keeping
For each formal complaint of Title IX sexual harassment, Joseph’s College must maintain records for 7 years that include:
• Records of any actions, including any supportive measures, taken in response to a report or formal complaint of sexual harassment.
• The basis for Joseph’s College’s conclusion that its response was not deliberately indifferent.
• Documentation that the school took measures designed to restore or preserve equal access; and
• If the school did not provide supportive measures, the reasons why such a response was not clearly unreasonable in light of the known circumstances.
If there was an adjudication, the records also must contain:
• Any determination regarding responsibility.
• Any audio or audiovisual recording or transcript.
• Any disciplinary sanctions imposed on the respondent.
• Any remedies provided to the complainant.
• Any appeal and the result; and
• Any informal resolution and the result.
Apart from any specific proceeding, Joseph’s College must keep for 7 years, all materials used to train Title IX Coordinators, investigators, adjudicators, and any person who facilitates an informal resolution process. Joseph’s College must make these training materials publicly available on their websites. https://josephscollege.edu/Consumer-Information/Title-IX-Coordinator
Retaliation
This new rule specifically prohibits retaliation, providing that no school “or other person may intimidate, threaten, coerce, or discriminate against any individual for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege secured by Title IX or this part, or because the individual has made a report or complaint, testified, assisted, or participated or refused to participate in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under this part.”
Since Joseph’s College Cosmetology does not provide housing for its students, written notification regarding options for and available assistance in, changing academic, living, transportation and working situations, if so requested by the victim and if such accommodation is reasonably available regardless of whether the victim chooses to report the crime to local law enforcement would be up to the student involved.
A student or employee who reports to Joseph’s College Cosmetology that the student or employee has been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, whether the offense occurred on or off campus, shall be provided with this information explaining the student or employee’s rights and options.
Equitable Treatment
A Formal complaint process must treat complainants and respondents equitably. Remedies must be designed to restore or preserve equal access to the education program or activity. Joseph’s College’s formal complaint process requires an objective evaluation of all evidence and provides that credibility determinations may not be based on a person’s status as a complainant, respondent, or witness. The Objective evaluation includes:
• Impartial consideration of available evidence.
• No prejudgment of parties, witnesses, facts at issue, or how facts at issue are presented.
• No difference to recommendations of an investigator.
• Adjudicators may believe everything a party or witness says, part of it, or none of it.
Training of Key Participants is required by Title IX rules and regulations. All Title IX Coordinators, investigators, adjudicators, and any person who facilitates informal resolutions shall be trained in Title IX specifics to facilitate the complaints. This training is required every year.
Unfounded Crimes: Joseph’s College Cosmetology may withhold, or subsequently remove, a reported crime from its crime statistics in the rare situations where sworn or commissioned law enforcement personnel have fully investigated the reported crime and, based on the results of this full investigation and evidence, have made a formal determination that the crime report is false or baseless and therefore “unfounded”. Only sworn or commissioned law enforcement personnel may “unfound” a crime report for purposes of reporting under this section. The recovery of stolen property, the low value of stolen property, the refusal of the victim to cooperate with the prosecution, and the failure to make an arrest do not ”unfound” a crime report.

INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE
- Intimate partner violence has been deemed one of the most pressing public health concerns affecting women of all ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
- In contrast to other forms of violent victimization, intimate partner violence is remarkable for its serial and repetitive nature, with acts of actual or threatened violence often continuing after separation or divorce, at times ceasing only upon the death of one or both parties.
- Results of a large nationally representative survey of 8,000 adult women and 8,000 adult men underscore the fact that most violence against women is committed by current or former intimate partners or dates.
- The experiences of stalking and emotional abuse create a climate of unrelenting fear that haunts battered women even after they separate from their abusive partners.
- The severe physical violence perpetrated against many of these women by their partners serves to legitimize their fears that stalking behavior may escalate into more serious, life-threatening violence.
