Agreement to the Abuse and Discrimination Policy (3.1.8) of the DTS Student Handbook

Since the Internship is an extension of Dallas Theological Seminary, the mentor agrees to abide by the following section of the Dallas Theological Seminary Student Handbook (www.dts.edu/policies):

Within Dallas Theological Seminaryâs Sexual and Harassment Policy, the term âsexâ is to be interpreted in accordance with the DTS Statement on Marriage and Human Sexuality (see dts.edu/policies). Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discriminationâwhich includes sexual violenceâin educational programs and activities. Students, staff, faculty, and other employees have the right to pursue education, including athletic programs, scholarships, and other activities, free from sex discrimination, including sexual violence, sexual misconduct, stalking, and harassment. As used herein and in Title IX, the term âsexâ historically, textually, and logically refers to an individualâs immutable sexâeither male (man) or female (woman)âas objectively determined by genetics or physiology present by or before birth. Within the context of its theological convictions and mission, Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS) does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, age, national and ethnic origin, or disability.

Reporting Discrimination and Harassment: Any student, staff or faculty member who believes he or she has been the victim of discrimination, discriminatory harassment, or sexual harassment, including any type of violence or sexual misconduct is urged to report the matter. The individual may notify either of our Title IX Co-Coordinators in person, by email, or by phone. Additionally, a written report may be mailed to: Dallas Theological Seminary, Title IX Complaint, 3909 Swiss Ave., Dallas, TX 75204.

As of 2023, Title IX Co-Coordinators:

Karen McDonald; Director of Employee Success kmcdonald@dts.edu or
Dr. Joye Baker; Women's Adviser in Educational Ministries and Leadership; jbaker@dts.edu or
John Bloom; Chief of DTS Police jbloom@dts.edu

Students, staff, or faculty who witness or learn of another person becoming the victim of discrimination, discriminatory harassment, or sexual harassment, including any type of violence or sexual misconduct are also urged to report the matter. If an individual sees an act of violence, has suspicions that violence is occurring or fears that violence is imminent, the individual should call 911 immediately.
