Title IX - Sexual Violence Prevention

Title IX has become a powerful tool on college campuses for combatting sexual offenses and gender discrimination. While Title IX is widely known for its role in opportunities in athletics, the arm of Title IX reaches farther to affect pregnant, gender non-conforming, and other students who feel their opportunities or environment have been altered because of gender.

Riverland is committed to eliminating sexual violence in all forms and provides reporting options, investigation, prevention training, and other support in accordance with federal law.
