No 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.

--Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972

Dear Franklin & Marshall College community,

 The Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Policy and Procedure is shared below and is downloadable as a PDF.  If you would like to report sexual misconduct or file a formal complaint, you are welcome to contact me directly or use the reporting form listed below.  You may also file a report with the College’s Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement, independent of, or parallel with, any report made to the College.  Contacting law enforcement to make a report allows for forensic evidence to be collected, including a SART exam if needed, which may be helpful if a decision is made to pursue criminal charges.  I am always available to meet if you have questions, concerns, or ideas regarding Title IX at F&M.

My best,

Kate Buchkoski, Ph.D.
Director of Title IX and ADA Compliance
