Policies and Procedures
It is federal law and the policy of Edmonds College to provide equal opportunity in
education and employment to all students and employees, including enforcing anti-discrimination
policies and procedures on and off campus, providing equity in all programs and activities,
and preventing and protecting against sex discrimination and sex-based harassment.
In April, 2024, the Department of Education released updated regulations governing
campus sex
discrimination and sex-based harassment under Title IX. Colleges and universities
were required to update their policies and procedures in order to comply with the
regulations by August 1, 2024.
To meet the August 1 implementation deadline, the college updated its Title IX policies and procedures and submitted them with an Emergency Rule Making-Order (CR-103E) to make necessary changes to the Washington Administrative Codes (WAC) governing these procedures. Per the Revised Code of Washington 34.05.353, the emergency rule-making process may be implemented when a rule is needed before the basic rulemaking process can be completed. Emergency rules do not require public notice or hearing(s). Under Washington State law, any changes that are approved through the Emergency Rule-Making Order are in effect 120 days.
On July 29, 2024, the Edmonds College Board of Trustees approved the proposed changes under the emergency rule-making procedure. The Board will consider these changes again after the regular WAC-change process has been implemented, to include a public hearing, which will take place later this year.
See the college's current Title IX policies and procedures, filed under the emergency rule-making process.
For assistance or questions regarding Title IX investigations, please contact the Title IX Coordinator at 425.640.1814 or visit the Title IX office, located in Clearview 122B.
