Sexual Misconduct & Title IX

The Texas State University System and Lamar State College Orange are firmly committed to maintaining an educational environment free from all forms of sex discrimination. Sexual misconduct is a form of sex discrimination and will not be tolerated. Lamar State College Orange will maintain an environment that promotes prompt reporting of all types of sexual misconduct and timely and fair resolution of sexual misconduct complaints. LSCO will take prompt and appropriate action to eliminate sexual misconduct when such is committed, prevent its recurrence, and remedy its effects.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs and activities. Sexual harassment of students or employees, which includes acts of sexual violence, is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX. Lamar State College Orange is committed to creating an environment free of harassment and discrimination.
