Title IX















































S A I N T L E O U N I V E R S I T Y

Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sexual discrimination in education not only in athletics but in the
classroom and beyond, in all of your dealings with others at Saint Leo University.
On March 7, 2013, President Obama signed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013
(VAWA). This amended the Jeanne Cleary Act to require institutions to compile statistics for incidents of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking and to include certain policies, procedures,
and programs pertaining to these incidents in their annual security reports (ASRs).

Definitions:
Domestic Violence includes asserted violent misdemeanor and felony offenses committed by the victims
current or former spouse, current or former cohabitant, person similarly situated under domestic or
family violence law, or anyone else protected under domestic or family violence law.
Dating Violence means violence by a person who has been in a romantic or intimate relationship with the
victim. Whether there was such relationship will be gauged by its length, type, and frequency of
interaction.
Stalking means a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to
fear for her, his, or others safety, or to suffer substantial emotional distress.
Impaired (for the purpose of this policy) is defined as temporary incapacity to evaluate or control
conduct, because the person is unconscious, asleep, intoxicated or under the influence of other drugs or
for any other reason physically unable to communicate or grant consent. Consent is defined as intelligent,
knowing, and voluntary agreement.
What you can do:
Direct: Step in and address the situation directly. You might say, "That's not cool. Please stop." This
technique works best if the person that you're trying to stop knows and trusts you.
Distract: Distract either person in the situation to intervene. You might say, "Hey, aren't you in my English
class?"

Delegate: Find someone to help intervene in the situation. Each of you can distract one of them.
Delay: For many reasons, you may not be able to do something right in the moment. In this case, you
might say, "Are you okay?" or "How can I help you get out of this situation?"
Please remember that your safety is of the utmost importance. When a situation threatens physical harm
to you or another student, ask someone for help; seek assistance from center staff; contact law
enforcement at 911.
Additionally, seek counseling services from National and Local Call Centers. Contact the National Sexual
Assault Hotline at:
800-656.HOPE
