For the most current information regarding common policies, log on to https://district.maricopa.edu/stewardship/maricopa-governance/common-pages/student-regulations or consent cannot imply consent in future sexual acts. Consent cannot be procured by use of physical force, compelling threats, intimidating behavior, or coercion. Coercion is unreasonable pressure for sexual activity. Coercive behavior differs from seductive behavior based on the type of pressure someone uses to get consent from another. When people make clear to you that they do not want sex, that they want to stop, or that they do not want to go past a certain point of sexual interaction, continued pressure beyond that point can be coercive. In order to give effective consent, one must be age 18 or older. If you have sexual activity with someone you know to be – or should know to be – mentally or physically incapacitated, you are in violation of this Policy. Incapacitation is a state where one cannot make a rational, reasonable decision because one lacks the ability to understand the who, what, where, why or how of that person's sexual interaction. II. Definitions Alleged Victim The person who is the victim of any alleged Sexual Harassment or Discrimination in violation of this Policy. Complainant A person who has experienced or witnessed, or otherwise knows of Sexual Harassment or Discrimination in violation of this Policy and files a Formal Complaint pursuant to this Policy. Respondent The person who is alleged to have engaged in Sexual Harassment or Discrimination prohibited under this Policy. Title IX Coordinator The Vice President of Student Affairs serves as each respective college's Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator is the individual responsible for providing education and training about Discrimination and Sexual Harassment to the college community and for receiving and investigating allegations of Discrimination and Sexual Harassment in accordance with this Policy. The Title IX Coordinator is authorized to designate other appropriately trained individuals to investigate Discrimination and Sexual Harassment Complaints and reports as deemed appropriate.

Reporting Discrimination A. Bystander No student or employee should assume that an official of the college knows about a particular situation. The college encourages any student who feels he or she has been discriminated against or harassed in violation of this Policy to promptly report the incident to the Title IX Coordinator. Any student who knows of Discrimination or Sexual Harassment prohibited under this Policy that is experienced by another student should report that information to the Title IX Coordinator. Before a student reveals information, college employees will try to ensure that the student understands the employee's obligations and, if the student wishes to maintain confidentiality, direct the student to confidential resources. A student may choose to make a full report or request confidentiality as he or she determines. All members of the college community are expected to adhere to this Policy, to cooperate with the procedures for responding to complaints of Discrimination and Harassment, and to report conduct or behavior they believe to be in violation of this Policy to the Title IX Coordinator. A duty to report conduct or behavior that violates this Policy is imposed on all administrators, supervisors, faculty members, and persons in positions of authority. Such employees perform their duty to report by reporting the conduct or behavior to the Title IX Coordinator.
