Notification of Regulatory Rights (Title IX, Clery, VAWA, SAVE)

In alignment with our heritage as a Free Methodist institution of higher learning, we commit ourselves to respect the worth of all persons as created in the image of God. As a campus community, residentially and virtually, we recognize the dignity and worth of all humans, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, color, socio-economic status, disability, or any other distinctions (Acts 10:34-35) and will respect one another as persons made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27) and redeemed by Christ’s death and resurrection.

This is first done by prohibiting discriminatory behavior on campus. It is the policy of the College to comply with Title IX expectations, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded educational programs and activities. This includes sex discrimination in all College programs and activities including, but not limited to recruiting, admissions, financial aid, academic programs, student services, counseling, discipline, roster assignment, grading, and employment.

Also in alignment with Federal regulations (e.g., Title IX, Clery, VAWA, SAVE, etc),  Central Christian College of Kansas is committed to maintaining a healthy, safe, and secure environment for the entire campus community (e.g., students, faculty, and staff.) To this end, the College enforces policies prohibiting all forms of sex discrimination, including sexual misconduct in the form of sexual assault, sexual coercion, sexual exploitation, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking. In addition, it provides resources and programming to help educate the campus community and prevent such actions.

The US Departments of Education and Justice define sexual harassment as misconduct on the basis of sex that satisfies one or more of the following conditions: Unwelcome conduct that a reasonable person would determine to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the school’s education program or activity; sexual assault, as defined in the Clery Act, or dating violence, domestic violence or stalking as defined in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA); a school employee conditioning education benefits on participation in unwelcome sexual conduct (i.e., quid pro quo). Only one of the three conditions listed must be met for the conduct to be considered sexual harassment.

Regulations mandate that the College maintain a system by which it can investigate and respond to reports of sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, and other forms of sexual violence. This includes a duty to publish policies and procedures related to the handling of these cases.

Students, staff, and faculty who become aware of conduct that might violate these policies are urged to promptly report the conduct. When sexual harassment creates a hostile environment, the College must address the issue. Title IX prohibits retaliation against people for making or participating in complaints of sexual harassment, sexual discrimination, and/or sexual violence. Vendors, independent contractors, and other outside parties who conduct business with the College through affiliation and other agreements will be expected to comply with this policy as well, as specified by the terms of any contract or agreement between the College and such third party.

Professional Licensure & Certification

The following programs may lead to licensure or certification, as described. Other programs offered by the College, but not listed here, are not designed to secure professional licensure or certification. While some classes and programs may allow a student to seek licensure or certification, beyond the scope of the College, the College makes no assertions or guarantees that its courses, programs, or curriculum meet the educational prerequisites for professional licensure or certification.

• Bachelor of Arts in Education [Elementary, Physical Education, and Secondary]: This program is designed to meet the requirements of the Kansas State Department of Education, allowing students to seek licensure through the State of Kansas. Graduation from the program does not guarantee licensure. Additional conditions may be required for licensure in other states.
• Bachelor of Science in Business [Risk Management]: This program provides an opportunity for students to seek designations through The Institutes. Completion of courses or the program does not guarantee a designation or certification. These classifications are only available through The Institutes.

Out-of-State Teacher Education Licensure

For academic programs that may reasonably be assumed to lead to professional licensure, these disclosures indicate, as of July 2020, the states where the institution has determined through reasonable, good faith effort that such programs:

1. Do meet the applicable professional licensure education requirements;
2. Do not meet the applicable professional licensure education requirements; or
3. Have not been able to be identified as meeting the applicable professional licensure education requirements.

Each state has its own licensure requirements, so it is best to contact the relevant state department of education prior to beginning your program. Each state’s appropriate office has been linked in the chart below.
