Title IX is a federal civil rights law passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972 that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in an education program or activity that receives federal financial assistance.
Under the Title IX Final Rule released by the Department of Education on May 6, 2020, Title IX applies to sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or gender-based stalking that occurs in an education program or activity. Incidents that occur on campus or within a SFCC program or activity, which includes locations, events and circumstances where SFCC has substantial control over the conduct, are covered by Title IX.

Sometimes individuals who have been impacted by sexual harassment or discrimination do not want to engage in a formal process to resolve the issue. Supportive measures are non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate and reasonably available, at no cost, and designed to restore or preserve equal access to the College’s education programs or activities without unreasonably burdening the other party.
Examples of supportive measures include, but are not limited to:
We offer short- and long-term counseling services to help you overcome obstacles and grow academically and personally. A licensed clinical social worker is available to work objectively with you on a short-term basis. Counseling also is available on the Sedalia campus for all SFCC students through a partnership with Central Methodist University.
