Click here to access the PCOM Title IX online report form. This form can be submitted without the inclusion of the complaining person's name or other identifying information, if desired, in order to report anonymously. This form is sent directly to the Equity and Title IX Coordinator.

You may also submit reports pertaining to potential violations of the PCOM Code of Conduct and institutional policies, including anti-discrimination, anti-sexual harassment and Title IX at pcom.ethicspoint.com.

To ensure compliance with Title IX, the President of the College has designated a Title IX Coordinator who will:

• Serve as a resource for students wishing to report any acts of sexual harassment or gender-based discrimination.
• Provide oversight for all Title IX complaints and identify patterns, issues or problems regarding those same complaints.
• Review and support the informational initiatives enabling students, staff and faculty to fully understand sexual harassment as a form of sexual discrimination.

The College does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the operation of its education programs and activities, pursuant to its obligations to comply with Title IX and other applicable laws and regulations. If you believe you have experienced sexual harassment, you have the right to file a complaint with the College, the local police, or both. To file a complaint with the College, contact the College’s Title IX Coordinator, a Deputy Title IX Coordinator or the PCOM Hotline. Or, complete the Title IX report form or pcom.ethicspoint.com:
