Statement of Nondiscrimination
Discrimination, Harassment, and Title IX
Maryville College is committed to providing an environment that emphasizes the dignity and worth of every member of its community and that is free from harassment and discrimination based on race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy, genetic information, against otherwise qualified persons with disabilities, or based on any other status protected by law. Maryville College is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate in the provision of educational opportunities, employment practices, or benefits. For additional information on nondiscrimination policies and concerns about violations, contact the Director of Disability Resources and Compliance, Thaw Hall Lower Level Room 111, 865-981-8124 or visit this section of the Student Handbook.
All Maryville College employees, except the counselors in the Counseling Center, the Campus Minister, and the PAVE Director, are mandatory reporters for sexual harassment on campus. This means that if you inform any MC employee of a situation that may involve sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, domestic violence, dating violence, or any other form of prohibited gender or sex-based discrimination, the employee is required to report the information to the Title IX Coordinator.
If you have experienced discrimination or harassment and would like to make a report to the College or discuss your options for support from the University, contact:
Title IX Coordinator, Daniel Roselli

Title IX Incident Reporting Form
Interim Measures
In certain circumstances, including those involving sexual harassment and/or sexual violence, the Academic Dean (or their designee) may, upon initial assessment, impose interim measures as a means to help ensure the safety and well-being of members of the College community or preservation of College property; help ensure the student’s own physical or emotional safety and/or well-being; and/or help prevent disruption or interference with the normal operations of the College. Depending on the nature of the interim measures, students may be denied access to certain buildings and/or to the campus (including classes) and/or all other College activities or privileges for which the student might otherwise be eligible, as the Academic Dean (or their designee) may determine to be appropriate. Whenever interim measures are applied, a hearing convenes at the earliest possible time. The interim measures(s) may remain in effect until a final decision has been reached, including any appropriate appeals process, and/or may be modified at the discretion of the Academic Dean (or his/her designee).
