Designated directory information at FIDM includes the following: student's name, address, Institute email address, photograph, major field of study and degree program, dates of attendance (defined as first and last date of term), grade level, enrollment status (fulltime or part-time), degrees, honors and awards received. Students may request that such directory information not be released by notifying the Vice President of Education in writing.
POLICY REGARDING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT (TITLE IX)
FIDM is committed to providing a work and educational environment free of unlawful harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. FIDM does not discriminate based on race, religion, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, military, or veteran status, physical or mental disability, medical condition, age, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, genetic information or any other basis protected by the federal, state, or local law. In accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, FIDM does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its education programs or activities, which extends to admission and employment. FIDM also prohibits Sexual Harassment (as defined in FIDM's Title IX Policy) committed against persons in the United States as part of its education program or activities.
If a student believes that they have experienced or witnessed other incidents of sexual misconduct or discrimination, FIDM encourages the student to notify the Title IX Coordinator as soon as possible after the incident. A report can also be made to the police. The criminal process is separate from FIDM's Grievance Process.
The Title IX Coordinator coordinates FIDM's efforts to comply with its Title IX responsibilities. The Title IX
Coordinator is responsible for implementing FIDM's Title IX policy, intaking reports and Formal Complaints of Sexual Harassment, providing Supportive Measures and maintaining accurate Clery Act crime statistics.
FIDM's complete Title IX Policy is in FIDM's most recent Annual Safety and Security Report available on FIDM's website fidm.edu/en/about/policies+disclosures/gener- al+information/.
Any person can report sex discrimination, including Sexual Harassment (whether or not the person reporting is the alleged victim) in person, by mail, telephone, or email, using the contact information listed for the Title IX Coordinator.
