This office is responsible for ensuring institutional compliance with federal laws and regulations, in particular, Title IX (to prevent discrimination based on sex, gender identity and/or expression), the Clery Act (to ensure disclosure of crime reporting and statistics), related state laws and Pomona College’s policy and procedures pertinent to sexual misconduct, harassment, and discrimination.
Important Title IX Update:
As you may have heard, on January 9, 2025, a federal court vacated the new 2024 Title IX Regulations, which were adopted and implemented by The Claremont Colleges on August 1, 2024 through the consortium-wide policy, The Claremont Colleges Sexual Misconduct and Sex-Based Harassment Interim Policy (“TCC SMCBH Policy”). As a result, The TCC SMSBH Interim Policy initially implemented on August 1, 2024 was revised to ensure compliance with the 2020 Title IX Final Rule and California state law. As of March 28, 2025, The Claremont Colleges Interim Policy on Title IX Sexual Harassment, Other Sex-Based Misconduct, and Retaliation is in effect. Sex-based harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking and retaliation and all other forms of Prohibited Conduct will continue to be prohibited as defined. Students and employees should continue to report any incidents of Prohibited Conduct to the Title IX Coordinator, Destiny Marrufo.
These revisions primarily affect the procedures to be used to resolve complaints of Prohibited Conduct. If you have any questions about the procedures to be used in your case, please contact the Title IX Coordinator.
