Title IX Coordinators


(706) 379-5276 | nphilbeck@yhc.edu

The Director of Human Resources has been designated as the Title IX Coordinator to address complaints of discrimination based on sex and sex­based harassment reported to the College. Several deputy Title IX Coordinators have also been assigned to help with this process. Their responsibilities include: Receiving reports of sexual misconduct including harassment, discrimination, and retaliation; ensuring that the College responds appropriately and effectively to each complaint; and when needed, providing supportive measures.

 

Coordinators are knowledgeable about, and will provide information on, options for complaint resolution. They also work closely with the Office of Student Counseling, the Chaplain’s Office and the Young Harris College Police Department (YHC PD). Together, the coordinators play an integral role in carrying out the College’s commitment to provide a positive learning, teaching, and working environment for the entire YHC community.
