Equity at Berklee NYC
Berklee’s Equity and Title IX Policy and Process also apply to Berklee's campus in New York City at the Power Station, and it is supported by a team of representatives in NYC, led by Berklee's assistant vice president of equity and Title IX/Title IX coordinator.
The Equity and Interim Title IX Policies prohibit acts of identity-based discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct, including, but not limited to, sexual assault or harassment, domestic/dating violence, and stalking. Such acts undermine Berklee’s community values and are strictly prohibited. The Equity and Interim Title IX policies and the institution’s commitment to fostering a safe, supportive, and diverse climate are a fundamental part of a Berklee community where all can study, live, and work together in an environment of equal opportunity, inclusiveness, and mutual respect.
The Equity and Interim Title IX Policies apply to all students, staff, and faculty at the NYC campus. If you have experienced or witnessed an incident that may violate the Equity and Title IX Policy and Process, you can report it to Berklee and local law enforcement, both or neither.
All community members are encouraged to contact the Equity Office to report any instances of potential violations of the Equity and Title IX Policy and Process and receive additional information, resolution options, and supportive measures.
Reporting to the Equity Office does not obligate any community member to participate in an investigation under the Equity and Title IX Policy and Process.
