Sexual Respect and Title IX

Bates is committed to providing a community built on trust and mutual respect, where all can feel secure and free from harassment. Sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and stalking, violates a person’s rights, dignity and integrity and is contrary to our community principles and the mission of the college. The college is committed to fostering a community that promotes prompt reporting of sexual misconduct and timely and fair resolution of sexual misconduct cases.
