De Anza College will not tolerate any form of sexual assault, including rape, on college property or at any college-sponsored event. These situations may or may not be deemed criminal offenses and therefore may have to be handled both internally through college administrative action and externally by the appropriate law enforcement agency.

Resources and Assistance Under Title IX

For resources and assistance in dealing with gender discrimination, sexual harassment or sexual assault, please visit the De Anza College Title IX website. 

More Information

See the following board policies and administrative procedures of the Foothill-De Anza Community College District:

Within the college, allegations of sexual assault or rape will be fully investigated by the college administration. Disciplinary sanctions may include suspension or expulsion for students or suspension or termination for employees.

Visit deanza.edu/titleix for the most current college rules and policies.

Decisions regarding discipline of employees will be made in accordance with applicable legal and contractual provisions and procedures.

If an individual contacts the offices of Psychological Services or Health Services about being raped or sexually assaulted, the information will be treated as confidential and will not be shared with others, except in cases involving minors. If the individual decides to report the incident to a law enforcement agency, the Title IX coordinator or any college employee outside the offices of Psychological Services or Health Services, the information may be shared with other employees in order to provide support and assistance, but the college will make every effort to handle the information in the most private manner possible.
