The Title IX Coordinator manages the Title IX Team and acts with independence and authority free from bias and conflicts of interest. The Title IX Coordinator oversees all resolutions under this policy and developed procedures.

To raise any concern involving bias or conflict of interest or to report misconduct or discrimination by the Title IX Coordinator, an individual should contact the Richland Community College President.
