Title IX Policy

I. Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that Virginia Community College System (VCCS) students enrolled at Rappahannock Community College (hereinafter “the College”) are not subjected to hazing in any form. Hazing is inconsistent with the College’s commitment to fostering an environment of learning, respect, and personal dignity. In addition to being prohibited in accordance with this policy, hazing is also a crime in the Commonwealth of Virginia as set forth in Code of Virginia § 18.2-56.
This policy applies to all individuals and groups associated with the College, including but not limited to students, faculty, staff, administrators, coaches, advisors, athletic teams, clubs, bands, fraternities, sororities, and other student organizations, consistent with the definitions herein.

Examples of physical or psychological injury include, but are not limited to, mental or physical harassment, bodily harm, humiliation, fatigue, degradation, ridicule, shock, or abuse.

Advisor: An individual employed by the College, whether directly or by contract, who acts in an official capacity as a sponsor to, advisor to, coach of, or supervisor of a student organization.

Student: Individuals enrolled in at least one course during the current semester for credit or non-credit (workforce) or enrolled for at least one course in the upcoming semester at the college, or registered or in attendance in a program operated by the Institution, or who has been accepted for admission into any program operated by the College.

Student Organization: As defined in the SCHA, an organization at the college (such as a club, society, association, varsity or junior varsity athletic team, club sports team, fraternity, sorority, band, or student government) in which two or more of the members are students enrolled at the college, whether or not the organization is officially established or recognized by the institution.

Student Organization with New Members: As defined in the Code of Virginia § 23.1-819, this is a student organization officially recognized by an institution of higher education structured in such a way that upon invitation for membership, individuals do not automatically become members of such organization and have a period of time between invitation for membership and being initiated into membership. “Student Organization with New Members" does not include any varsity intercollegiate or club athletic team.

III. Prohibited Activities

Hazing includes, but is not limited to:

• Hazing also includes soliciting, directing, aiding, or otherwise participating actively or passively in the above acts.

IV. Jurisdiction

This policy applies to hazing activities occurring on both college-owned and non-college-owned properties. An act of hazing by an individual or student organization will be viewed by the college as a violation of the college’s hazing policy, regardless of where the act of hazing took place.

V. Consent

An individual may not consent to being hazed. A person’s willingness to participate in the hazing activity does not excuse or justify hazing. Consent cannot be used as a defense for violating the college’s hazing policy.

VI. Reporting and Disciplinary Procedures

Acts of suspected hazing will be adjudicated through the student Code of Conduct. The disciplinary procedures, including the reporting process, adjudication, and potential sanctions for violators can be found in the student code of conduct here: [Insert Link to College’s Conduct Code]

Immunity for Reporting Provision

A bystander not involved in the hazing acts, who makes a good faith report of an act of hazing in advance of or during an incident of hazing that causes injury or is likely to cause injury to a person will receive disciplinary immunity for personal consumption of drugs or alcohol related to the incident.

Retaliation

No person may intimidate, threaten, coerce, harass, discriminate, or take any other adverse action against any other person for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege, or because the person has made a report or filed a formal complaint, testified, assisted, or participated or refused to participate in any manner in an investigation, live hearing, or any other process described in this or the related conduct policy. Action is generally deemed adverse if it would deter a reasonable person in the same circumstances from opposing practices prohibited by this policy. Retaliation may result in disciplinary or other action independent of the sanctions or interim measures imposed in response to the underlying allegations of violations of this policy.

Disclosure

Starting December 23, 2025, the institution will publicly report actual findings of violations of the institution’s code of conduct or of federal or state laws pertaining to hazing that are reported to campus authorities or local law enforcement in accordance with Stop Campus Hazing Act (SCHA). These reports will be released at least 10 calendar days before the start of fall and spring academic semesters. Reports will be available at: [Insert College Website/Link].

VII. Education and Prevention

The college will provide at least one research-informed, hazing prevention and awareness program designed to reach students, staff, and faculty annually.

Prevention efforts may include:

• Orientation programs
• Leadership workshops
• Bystander intervention training
• Awareness campaigns

Additionally, in compliance with Virginia’s Adam’s Law (§ 23.1-820), “each current member, new member, and potential new member of each Student Organization with a New Member process must attend hazing prevention training that includes extensive, current, and in-person education about hazing, the dangers of hazing, including alcohol intoxication, and hazing laws and institution policies and information explaining that the institution's disciplinary process is not to be considered a substitute for the criminal legal process. If a Student Organization with New Members has an advisor, such advisor shall attend such hazing prevention training.”

VIII. Policy Distribution

This hazing policy will be made available on the college website.

As a requirement of Virginia Code Section 23-9.2:10, each public college or university shall have in place policies and procedures for the prevention of violence on campus. RCC is committed to providing a safe campus environment that promotes student learning. As part of this commitment, RCC has established the Threat Assessment Team, a multi-disciplinary group responsible for evaluating and managing risks associated with behaviors that may present a threat to the campus community’s safety. The RCC TAT, in collaboration with the RCC Violence Prevention Committee, will help develop policies and procedures for violence prevention, including assessment and intervention with individuals whose behavior may pose a threat to campus safety. The RCC Threat Assessment Team members include the vice president of finance and administrative services, Glenns Campus dean, Warsaw Campus dean, dean of student development, human resources manager, counselors and other College constituencies as needed. All members of the Threat Assessment Team are considered to be school officials and will have complete access to student records when necessary to do their job.

The Threat Assessment Team is responsible for addressing reported behavioral or mental health incidents involving students, faculty, staff or visitors which occur on a RCC campus or site.

Frequently Asked Questions About TAT Referrals

• Who can make a referral to TAT? Anyone may make a referral to the Threat Assessment Team, this includes students, faculty, staff, and parents.
• What type of behavior should be referred? Behavior that warrants a referral to the Threat Assessment Team includes behaviors that might compromise safety, erratic behavior that disrupts teaching or college activities, self-injurious behaviors, and suicidal ideation.
• How do I know if it is a TAT issue or if it is something that should be handled by another campus resource? You do not need to make the decision about whether a situation is an issue for TAT or should be handled by another department, when in doubt make a referral.
• What happens after I make a referral? The TAT members will review the information provided in the referral and take the appropriate action.

To make a report in person, you may provide a report to one of the following depending on your location. Your report will be forwarded to the TAT.

Rappahannock Community College is responsible for preparing and distributing an Annual Security Report to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act). The Annual Security Report is published every year by October 1 and contains three years of selected campus crime statistics.

 In 1990, Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 (Title II of Public Law 101-542), which amended the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA). This act required all post secondary institutions participating in HEA’s Title IV student financial assistance programs to disclose campus crime statistics and security information. The act was amended in 1992, 1998, 2000 and 2008. The 1998 amendments renamed the law the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act in memory of a student who was slain in her dorm room in 1986. It is generally referred to as the Clery Act and is in section 485(f) of the HEA. In 2013, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA), which included additional amendments to the Clery Act.

The report is available here. Enrolled students and current personnel will receive an e-mail notification annually on or before October 1st when an updated report has been made available on this website. Print copies of the report may be obtained, free of charge, by request at the Service Desk of the main campus.
