Title IX Information
Information about Sexual Harassment and Assault
New England College has a strong stance against sexual misconduct, dating/domestic violence and stalking. Employees and students should address sexual misconduct, dating or domestic violence and stalking in order for everyone to enjoy a work and learning environment free from offensive and hostile behavior. The policies can be found in the Student Handbook located here: http://www.zenodotus.net/info-for/student-faculty-and-staff-resources/student-life-and-activities/. These policies are based on a number of federal laws, including Title VII (1964 Civil Right Act), which prohibits sex-based discrimination in employment, Title IX (1972 Education Amendment) that prohibits sex-based discrimination against students, and the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act of 2013. In addition, the Final Rules regarding Title IX released in 2020 have informed these policies. Employees and students are strongly encouraged to seek information about campus resources available to them (including the information listed below) and to disclose cases of sexual misconduct, dating or domestic violence and stalking so that situations can be addressed.

Online Education: Verification of Student Identity
欧宝体育app assigns each student a secure network account with a unique username and password. All students registering for a course at 欧宝体育app are assigned unique identification numbers and corresponding usernames. Before a student can access any information resource on the College’s network (including the Learning Management Systems: Blackboard, Moodle, and the Bisk 1Education LMS), the student must be authenticated by the directory service using his/her username and password. Students are assigned a password when their account is first established, and they are required to change their password when they initially activate their account. Passwords must be suitably complex. There are no additional charges associated with verification.
All users of the College’s learning management systems are responsible for maintaining the security of usernames, passwords, and other access credentials as required. An account is assigned to an individual for the exclusive use by that individual. Attempting to discover another user’s password or attempts to gain unauthorized access to another person’s files or mail is prohibited.
In addition, faculty teaching online courses have a role in identity verification insofar as they can be alert to changes in student behavior: sudden shifts in academic performance and changes in writing style or language used in discussion groups or email. These changes may indicate academic integrity issues. Faculty routinely use a variety of assessment instruments and regularly ask students to share in appropriate ways important ideas learned from texts and references and require research projects and paper assignments to be submitted in steps.
Statement of Penalties for Copyright Infringement
Copyright infringement is the act of exercising, without permission or legal authority, one or more of the exclusive rights granted to the copyright owner under section 106 of the Copyright Act (Title 17 of the United States Code).

For details, see Title 17, United States Code, Sections 504, 505. Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal penalties, including imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense.

SARA consumer protection provisions require the institution’s home state, through its SARA State Portal Entity, to investigate and resolve allegations of dishonest or fraudulent activity by the state’s SARA-participating institutions, including the provision of false or misleading information.
A student has the right to lodge a complaint or grievance. The institution should ensure that all concerns and complaints of students are addressed fairly and are resolved promptly.
