Title IX Policy
Navajo Technical University will address all incidents of sex discrimination and sexual harassment reported to the NTU Title IX Coordinator in compliance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act, the Clery Act, and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended. This Title IX policy supersedes the current Title IX policy upon enactment.
NTU follows the non-tolerance guidelines for sexual harassment according to P.L. 92-318. Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and/or verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature which intimidates or causes fear. It is the policy of Navajo Technical University that sexual harassment is reprehensible and will not be tolerated. No student, employee, or job applicant should be discriminated against on the basis of sex. Such discrimination subverts the mission of NTU and threatens the careers of students, faculty, and staff. Sexual harassment of any type is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972.
NTU is committed to creating and maintaining a community in which students, faculty, administration, and staff can work together in a humane atmosphere free from all forms of disrespectful conduct, harassment, exploitation, or intimidation. It is the intention of NTU to take corrective action needed to prevent, correct, and if necessary, to discipline behavior that violates this policy.
Any person may report sex discrimination, including sexual harassment (whether or not the person reporting is the person alleged to be the victim of conduct that could constitute sex discrimination or sexual harassment), in person, by mail, by telephone, or by e-mail, using the contact information listed for the Title IX Coordinator, or by any other means that results in the Title IX Coordinator receiving the person’s verbal or written report. Such a report may be made at any time, including during non-business hours, by using the telephone number or e-mail address, or by mail to the office address, listed for the Title IX Coordinator.
The Title IX Coordinator is the Sponsored Program Manager. Contact number is (505) 387-7415.
Deputy Title IX Officers have the secondary responsibility and assist in the duties of the Title IX Coordinator. Deputy Title IX Officers include the Dean of Student Services located in the NTU Student Union Building, Lower Point road, State Hwy 371, P.O. Box 849, Crownpoint, NM 87313, phone: (505) 387-1006, the Director of Chinle Site, located on the Chinle Campus, phone number (505) 387-3003 and Financial Aid Officer, Skyhawk Building, Main Campus Crownpoint, phone number is (505) 387-1070.
The Title IX policy is located on the NTU website:

NTU Drug-Free Campus
The NTU Drug-Free Campus Policy prohibits the unlawful and unauthorized use, possession, sale, production, and/or delivery of any illicit drug, alcoholic beverage, and/or drug paraphernalia on school premises or other school locations. School premises or other school locations include any school building on or off the main campus, any school-owned vehicle used to transport students to and from school activities, any off-campus school sponsored or approved activities, events or functions, and/or during any period of time school employees are supervising students on behalf of the school or are otherwise engaged in school business. This also includes being “under the influence” or “intoxicated;” therefore, any student who is found on campus while “under the influence” or “intoxicated,” will be reported to the Navajo Police.
This policy is in compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Act; commonly known as Part 86 of EDGAR and the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978. Drug and alcohol abuse on campus poses a serious threat to the health and welfare of faculty, staff, and students, impairs work and academic performance, jeopardizes the safety and well-being of other students and members of the general public, and conflicts with the responsibility of NTU to foster a healthy environment for the pursuit of education and service.
As a condition of enrollment, any student of NTU shall abide by the terms of the Drug Free Campus Policy by signing the affidavit included in the Admission Packet. Should a student violate the Drug-Free Policy, appropriate disciplinary actions will be enforced according to the school handbook. For more information, contact the Substance Abuse Prevention office at (505) 387-7473.
Tobacco Free Campus
The NTU Board of Trustees Resolution Number NTU-DEC-1080-11 prohibits the use of any and all tobacco products (smoke or smokeless) throughout the campus and in all vehicles, or buildings owned or occupied by NTU. Navajo Technical University has been a tobacco-free campus effective January 1, 2012. The use of tobacco is prohibited within college buildings, walkways, in college vehicles, and on college owned property. This policy applies to all faculty, staff, students, contractors, vendors, and visitors at all college campuses and locations. This policy is in compliance with the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 and Navajo Nation Resolution #: CJY-29-11.
