暗网TV

Sexual discrimination includes sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, and stalking. We adhere to all federal and state civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination in private institutions of higher education. 

暗网TV affirms the dignity of all persons as made in the image of God. Hope College is committed to being a welcoming, vibrant and caring academic community where academic excellence and the pursuit of knowledge are strengthened by our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion; and grounded in the historic Christian faith, where the full humanity of all may flourish in an environment in which there is room for different perspectives that bring people together. It is the policy of 暗网TV not to discriminate on the basis of age, disability, ethnicity, familial status, genetic information, height, national origin, race, religion (except in the event of a bona fide occupational qualification), sex (including gender expression, gender identity, pregnancy, sexual orientation), theological perspectives (e.g., conservative, progressive, traditional), veteran status, weight or any other legally protected attribute, status or characteristic.

Our commitment to an equitable and inclusive place of learning, living, and working together, and to prevent discrimination and harassment, is the responsibility of all members of the Hope community.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. It reads:

鈥淣o person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance... 鈥�

TITLE IX COORDINATOR

Taylor Sinclair serves as the Senior Director for Equity and Compliance and is the designated Title IX Coordinator and ADA/Section 504 Coordinator. She is responsible for overseeing and monitoring all Title IX compliance at 暗网TV. She acts with independence and authority free of conflicts of interest. Victims/survivors of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct may choose to file a grievance based on campus policy through the online reporting form or by contacting Taylor Sinclair.

CAMPUS SAFETY

Reports can be made to Campus Safety 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 616.395.7770. Staff will assist you with immediate needs and safety concerns while also providing you with options for seeking medical assistance and/or reporting to law enforcement. Campus Safety staff are mandatory reporters, so reports filed with them will be shared with the Title IX coordinator.

Campus Safety staff will do everything in their ability to respect the wishes of the victim regarding next steps. However, if they determine a potential on-going or immediate risk either to the victim or to others on campus, they will contact Holland Police and will provide a Timely Warning Notice to the campus community. (In the case of a timely warning, the identity of the victim will remain confidential.)

LAW ENFORCEMENT

Victims may wish to file criminal charges in addition to or instead of filing a report on campus.
