The Civil Rights and Title IX Coordinator coordinates Middlebury's efforts to comply with any and all federal and state laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of one or more of the protected characteristics listed above. Discrimination complaints are processed in accordance with the procedures set forth in Middlebury's Non-Discrimination Investigations & Resolutions Procedure. Complaints about sexual misconduct, domestic and dating violence and misconduct, stalking and related retaliation are handled in accordance with Middlebury’s Policy Against Sexual Misconduct, Domestic Violence and Dating Violence and Misconduct, and Stalking.
