Title IX and Compliance

The College has designated to Angela Snyder, Title IX Coordinator / Compliance Officer. The Title IX Coordinator in conjunction with College administration, staff, and faculty coordinates the College's compliance with appropriate statutes, laws and regulations related to civil rights, including equity and access. Additionally, the Compliance Officer conducts investigations or collaborates with the administration to review or investigate complaints of harassment or discrimination based on race, sex, gender identity, color, age, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, genetic information or veteran's status.Title IXThe U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces, among other statutes, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. Title IX states that:No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.The Title IX Coordinator at Florida SouthWestern State College is Angela Hawke, Title IX Coordinator / Compliance Officer. Sexual Assault InformationTopicsWho is covered by Title IX?Title IX covers FSW students, staff and faculty. Educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance are covered by Title IX. The U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights enforces Title IX and its associated federal regulations which are found in 34 CFR Part 106. If only one of the institution's programs or activities receives federal funding, all of the programs within the institution must comply with Title IX regulations. In compliance with Title IX, Florida SouthWestern State College prohibits discrimination in employment as well as in all programs and activities on the basis of sex.College Title IX CoordinatorFlorida SouthWestern State College, an equal access institution, prohibits discrimination in its employment, programs and activities based on race, sex, gender identity, age, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, marital status, genetic information or veteran status. Questions pertaining to educational, equal access or equal opportunity should be addressed to the College’s Title IX Coordinator / Equity Officer: Angela Hawke; Room N-124; 8099 College Parkway SW, Fort Myers, FL 33919; (239) 489-9051; [email protected]. FSW online anonymous reporting www.fsw.edu/report. Inquiries/complaints can be filed with the Title IX Coordinator/Compliance Officer online, in person, via mail, via email, or with the US Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights, Atlanta Office: 61 Forsyth St. SW Suite 19T70, Atlanta, GA 30303-8927. Frequently Asked Questions About Title IXDoes Title IX apply only to discrimination against females?No. While Title IX has been used mostly by females seeking to protect their rights, Title IX also serves to protect the rights of males. Title IX requires that males and females receive fair and equal treatment in all areas of education.Does Title IX apply only to athletic programs?No. This is perhaps the most widely held misconception about Title IX. Athletics are not the only component of academic life governed by Title IX. Other areas which fall within the scope of Title IX include:Recruitment, Admissions, Financial Aid and ScholarshipsCourse Offerings and AccessCounselingHiring and Retention of EmployeesBenefits and LeaveTitle IX also prohibits sexual harassment, which includes sexual assault and sexual violence.Does Title IX require that all educational activities and programs must be open to both males and females?Not necessarily. Title IX specifically allows for, or has been interpreted to allow for, single-sex programs in a number of categories. Included among those are: religious schools, traditional men's/women's colleges, social fraternities/sororities, youth service organizations such as, The Boy/Girl Scouts of America, and beauty pageants.Does Title IX prohibit gender bias in science related fields?The under-representation of females in science related fields may violate Title IX. Educational institutions are required to provide females resources, support, and promotional opportunities in all educational fields which are comparable to their male colleagues.Are individuals who file complaints of discrimination under Title IX for themselves or others protected from retaliation under Title IX?Yes. The U.S. Supreme Court has broadened the interpretation of Title IX to protect from retaliation whistle-blowers who accuse educational institutions of sex discrimination. The court is of the opinion that reporting incidents of discrimination is integral to Title IX enforcement and would be discouraged if retaliation against those who report it goes unpunished.Failure To Comply With Title IXThe penalty for failure to comply with Title IX in the most extreme circumstances can include the termination of all or part of an institution's federal funding. This includes grants, subsidies, and other program funds from the federal government. In addition to the loss of federal funds, colleges may be sued by those seeking redress for violations of Title IX. It is essential that institutions receiving federal financial assistance operate in a nondiscriminatory manner. To ensure the College's compliance with the law, adherence to Title IX regulations is everyone's responsibility.Who Enforces Title IX?The United States Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is in charge of enforcing Title IX in public educational institutions.

Rush Library Special Collection

On November 4, 2008, the renovated Florida SouthWestern State College Richard H. Rush Library opened to students and the community. Thanks to the generosity of donors, Dr. Richard H. and Mrs. Julia Rush, an extensive 16-month, $8 million renovation transformed the Library into a state-of-the-art, 21st century digital library, serving thousands of students per year on the Lee Campus.Exhibit HoursTemporarily Closed during building renovationsFeatured Exhibits High Renaissance to Impressionism An extraordinary exhibit of Old Master Paintings from the Julia and Richard H. Rush Collection hangs in a dedicated gallery space on the first floor of the Rush Library on the Lee Campus. The art, collected by the lenders over 50 years, provides riveting examples of the progress and history of art for FSW students and the general public. Artists represented include Bernardino Luini (c. 1480/82-1532), Paolo Veronese (1528-1588), Pietro della Vecchia (1603-1678), Carlo Maratta (1625-1713), Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669), John Hoppner (1758-1810), Edouard Manet (1832-1883) and Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841-1919). More Information on the High Renaissance to Impressionism Exhibit. Antiques and paintings on loan from the collection of Dr. Richard H. and Mrs. Julia Rush. The Sanders Porcelain Exhibit The mystique and beauty of Eastern art is explored through a rich collection of more than 100 pieces of Chinese and Japanese porcelain dating from as early as the 18th century Chinese Qing dynasty. For centuries revered and coveted for its beauty and value, Chinese and Japanese porcelain offer a snapshot and testament to the cultural and global impact of these two nations on art and trade throughout the 18th—20th centuries. More Information on the Saunders Porcelain Exhibit Website. Generously donated by The George & Mary Jo Sanders Foundation. "The paintings in the Rush Collections Gallery represent 400 years of the history of culture and painting. They also show evidence of the work of students apprenticed to famous artists, and to the working process of artists from the 15th century to the 19th century. Our students can see the evolution of both western culture and artistic techniques in these paintings." - Dr. Dale Hoover Professor, Humanities

Museum of Medical History

The Medical History Museum at FSW is the result of the collective efforts of the late Dr. Roger D. Scott, Lee County's first board certified surgeon and Dr. Jacob H. Goldberger, a retired general surgeon in Fort Myers. The Museum honors the memory of Dr. Goldberger’s former partner, Dr. David Bernstein. The Museum is dedicated to protecting, preserving, and interpreting the history and development of medicine from all periods with a special emphasis upon the evolution of Medical practice in South West Florida. In addition to the intriguing displays, the Medical History Museum at Florida SouthWestern State College will host specialized tours, provide educational programs and design community-based artifact displays, public events and lectures.About Us The Museum of Medical History provides historical displays depicting the practice of medicine, primarily in Southwest Florida, from the mid-1800s to the 1970s. Exhibits detail the progression of surgery, nursing, human prosthetics, therapeutic and diagnostic devices, and pharmaceutical artifacts. Housed in an 1,800-square-foot gallery within the nursing building on the Lee Campus, the Museum opened in November of 2010, culminating nearly two years of collaboration with its founders, surgeons Roger Scott, M.D., Jacob Goldberger, M. D. and Historian Jeff Elsberry, RRT, PhD. The Museum adds to its collection through private donations of unique medical artifacts. Many of these are displayed in off-Campus locations that “tell a unique story” about Medical History and the Evolution of Medical Practice. Mission The Museum is dedicated to collect, preserve and interpret the history and development of medicine in Lee County and the surrounding Southwest Florida areas, but will extend to medical history worldwide. Through our museum displays we will preserve and interpret objects through educational programs, public events and lectures.
