Receive Support For A Title IX Issue

Primary Resource

Title IX

Simmons takes allegations of sexual harassment seriously and is committed to preventing and addressing this conduct, as it violates our community standards and is inconsistent with mutual respect, dignity, and personal integrity. Simmons has a Sexual Harassment Policy to address such behavior. Review the sexual harassment policy here, and complaints can be filed here.
