Faculty, Staff, and Students:
Henderson State University has updated its grievance procedures relating to sexual harassment under Title IX and all other forms of sex-based discrimination. These procedures are identified as the Title IX (Sexual Harassment Discrimination) Grievance Procedure and the Other Sex-Based Discrimination Grievance Procedure. Both procedures, along with additional information about preventing and reporting sexual harassment and other types of sex discrimination, can be found at the university’s Title IX webpage. An online reporting form is provided at the Report an Incident page. Revisions have also been made to the ASU System Staff Handbook.
As a reminder, Henderson State University does not discriminate on the basis of sex in any education program or activity that it operates. Further, Henderson State is subject to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and is therefore required by Title IX and 34 C.F.R. Part 106 not to discriminate in such a manner. This requirement extends to admissions and employment with the university. Inquiries about the application of Title IX or 34 C.F.R. Part 106 to A-State may be referred to Henderson State’s Title IX Coordinator, to the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights for the U.S. Department of Education, or both.

Such a report may be made at any time (including during non-business hours) by using the telephone number or email address, or by mail to the office address, provided above.
