Title IX and Non-Discrimination Policy Updates
UMBC Response to New Federal Regulations
Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
UMBC’s Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI) has primary responsibility for compliance, education, and outreach related to sexual misconduct and Title IX, as well as other laws and policies regarding discrimination, harassment, hate, and bias. Title IX of the Civil Rights Act prohibits sex discrimination, sexual assault, sexual harassment; and discrimination against pregnant and parenting students, faculty, and staff.
In May, after a more than two-year-long notice and comment period, the U.S. Department of Education issued updated regulations implementing Title IX. These new regulations go into effect today, August 14, 2020.
Since May, OEI has been working with the University System of Maryland, the Maryland Attorney General’s Office, and campus partners to ensure that our policies and procedures align with the new federal regulations, Maryland laws, court decisions, and our community values. UMBC’s new Policy on Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Harassment, and Gender Discrimination, which takes effect today, incorportes these new regulations.
While the new regulations require changes to the University’s policies and procedures, what has not changed is our dedication to a process that respects the equal dignity of all members of the UMBC community. OEI worked to ensure that this new Title IX policy reflects UMBC’s values and commitment to inclusive excellence and equity. OEI remains committed to providing the highest standard of support and care to all impacted by sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination.
In addition to developing the new Title IX policy, OEI has updated the UMBC non-discrimination policy. These updates are reflected in the new Discrimination and Equal Opportunity Policy and Procedures, which will be implemented on August 18, 2020. The updates to the discrimination policy provide a clear process for handling discrimination complaints, and provide additional protections against sex discrimination and sexual misconduct that may not be covered under UMBC’s Title IX policy, based on the requirements of the new Title IX regulations.
The UMBC community has a variety of resources available on campus and beyond to support students, faculty, and staff who are impacted by Title IX and equity and inclusion issues. OEI is committed to being a resource and has created a FAQ that addresses questions UMBC community members may have regarding the new Title IX policy.
What you need to know:
- UMBC’s new Policy on Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Harassment, and Gender Discrimination goes into effect on August 14, 2020. UMBC’s new Discrimination and Equal Opportunity Policy and Procedures go into effect on August 18, 2020.
- For Prohibited Conduct that occurred prior to August 14, 2020, and was reported prior to August 14, 2020, including matters currently under review, the definitions, policies, and procedures in UMBC’s former Title IX policy will be used through conclusion of the matter, including any appeal and enforcement of any sanctions.
- For Prohibited Conduct that occurred prior to August 14, 2020, but is reported on or after August 14, 2020, the policy and definitions in UMBC’s former Title IX policy will apply, but the procedures in the new policy will be used to investigate and resolve any formal complaints through the conclusion of the matter, including any appeal and enforcement of any sanctions.
- Where Prohibited Conduct occurs on or after August 14, 2020, the new definitions, policies, and procedures will apply, except that when the Prohibited Conduct is sufficiently related to a matter already under review, the former policy and/or procedures will apply to the related matter.
- There may be legal challenges to some of these regulations, and the U.S. Department of Education is issuing additional implementing guidance for the new regulations nearly every day. Either or both of these could modify the regulations and/or guidance and require us to make modifications to the new policy. In the event this occurs, OEI will work to promptly inform the UMBC community of any changes.
OEI is open and fully operational, with staff working remotely. Please visit the OEI website to learn more about the team. If you have questions about the Title IX process or wish to talk to someone about your options to report or seek support, please contact our office. To report a complaint of sexual violence, misconduct, harassment, or discrimination, please use our online form.

Undergraduate Researcher of the Week: Cira Tapia
Do Latinos Use Academic Success Resources at HCC?
Cira Roxana Tapia is a senior with a major in Global Studies and a minor with a certificate in Intercultural Communication. She is a Returning Women Scholar and a current URA Scholar.
Title of your research project:
Latino Students enrolled at Howard Community College with very low participation in the success programs offered for the college.
Describe your project:
The goal of my research is to explore and find the stories of students of Hispanic descent registered at Howard Community College. My research will focus on knowing why Latino students do not use the institution's resources for academic success. Will students be afraid to ask about a program that can help them be successful, or will they be afraid because any of them are undocumented? Or they will have other obstacles like the English barrier, there are many questions that I want to find out because the students have little participation in the improvement programs.
Who is your mentor for your project?
Dr. Cristopher Brown, department of Global Studies. I chose my mentor because Dr. Brown is very passionate about teaching his global studies class. He is also my teacher in GLBL-401 Independent research class, and I want to learn a lot from my teacher, I know that with his guide I will go very far.
How did you become interested in this project?
I became interested in this project because I am a Latino immigrant and I have observed young students in college, the low participation in the programs offered by the institution, and it strikes me because the low interest of Latino students in not making the most of the resources that the college has. I want to know the reasons, reasons or circumstances of the students for this behavior of not taking advantage of all the opportunities that this institution has.
What has been the hardest part of your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher?
The most unexpected thing about this research is discovering the factors or circumstances that prevent students from participating and taking advantage of the resources of the college institution. And I also want to be able to do something with the information or research I get so I can help students reach their goals so they can graduate. Not only will I focus on the students, I will also focus on the programs that the college has for Latino students or programs for all students and see what they do to get students to participate in successful programs. I will also focus on whether Latino students are failing or is the institution that does not have enough programs for Latino students.
What has been the most rewarding part?
The rewarding part of being part of the research is learning a lot from my mentor, his advice and experience will help me a lot to get me to do an excellent research.
How will you disseminate your research?
I will disseminate my research through research work and visual presentations, such as videos of the interviews. As a URA Scholar, I will present my project at URCAD in April.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
The research method is a way to apply the many things you learn in class and it is also a way to come to your own conclusions on topics you are passionate about.
I invite students to participate in these investigations.
What are your career goals?
My professional goals are to first finish my studies and graduate in Global Studies from UMBC, in the course of my graduation I want to have an internship in a non-profit organization or do an internship also in international offices of the state government. I want to always be of service to people, those who need help.

Online Leadership Challenge Day 8
Ongoing Learning & Challenge Conclusion
Now that we’re at the end of our challenge, we will go over some suggestions for practice. But first, I want to take a moment to tie the loop and talk about Emotionally Intelligent Leadership (EIL). This leadership development model combines two bodies of literature: emotional intelligence and leadership. At the most basic levels: Emotional intelligence is about recognizing and regulating emotions in ourselves and others. Leadership is about influencing others to engage in a purpose or cause.
EIL consists of focusing on self, others, and context— using these facets helped create the Online Leadership Challenge topics; self-development, feedback, identity, values, followership, partnerships and teams, and creating change. The following suggestions for practice will touch on all the topics we went over together throughout the challenge:
Get to know YOU: Be known as someone who seeks out, and is open to, feedback. Exist in a continuous state of reflection.
Seek out challenge and support:Associate with people who challenge and support you. Seek out environments that will help you grow and that help you become your best self.
Nurture your relationships: Once you create a connection, you must continue to nurture the relationship so that it strengthens. The best way to do this is by listening and being present.
Communication is key: Consider the ways you communicate within a group or team. Do you voice your ideas? Do you build on or add to others? Do you take time to listen? Are you comfortable with silence?
Know that we all have a part in the leadership process:Active group members are committed to the organization and its purpose. Not only do they do what is expected of them, but are proactive and willing to fill gaps.
You have the capacity to be an agent of change: It requires embracing creative problem solving, risk taking and courage. Facilitating change requires all that you do, think, feel and believe.
Day 8 Challenge Questions:
Reminder: The deadline to submit all answers is 11:59pm Friday, August 14th! The winner of the challenge will be announced on Monday, August 17th!
