Directory information is defined as information which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Designated directory information at FIDM includes the following: student's name, address, FIDM 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. In an emergency, FIDM may need to disclose directory information on students that provide general contact information. However, more specific information may be disclosed in a health or safety emergency where additional student information should be disclosed to appropriate parties.

A complete copy of the policy is available upon request from the administrative office.

POLICY REGARDING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT (TITLE IX)

FIDM is committed to providing a work and school environment free of unlawful harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. FIDM policy prohibits harassment or discrimination 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 Sexual Harassment (including Sexual Violence), discrimination or retaliation, 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+disclo- sures/general+information/.

Any person can report sex discrimination, Sexual Harassment (including Sexual Violence) or retaliation, whether or not the person reporting is the alleged victim. Reports can be made in-person, by mail, telephone, or email, using the Title IX Coordinator contact information on this page.
