Civil Rights Compliance
Our goal is to promote an educational environment and workplace that is free of all forms of discrimination based on protected classes, sexual harassment, gender-based harassment, sexual violence, and retaliation. The College will not tolerate any such behaviors, all of which are prohibited by both law and the College’s Policy on Equal Opportunity, Non-Discrimination, and Title IX.
We will keep our campuses and surrounding communities safe by responding effectively and immediately if an incident occurs.
How to File a Complaint or Concern
If you believe you have been subjected to sexual harassment, you may file a formal complaint through the College's internal process or with the governmental agencies set forth below. Filing a complaint with the College does not prohibit you from filing a complaint with these agencies.
