TITLE IX
Student and Employee Rights
Sexual Harassment: Students or employees who feel they have been the victim of sexual harassment in a college situation (on campus, at a college sponsored event, etc.) may seek relief by filing a grievance*. The procedure for doing this is discussed in the Student Handbook and the Policies and Procedures Manual. Confidentiality is given to the person filing the grievance. The primary officials designated to enforce this policy are the Vice-President of Student Affairs and Vice-President of Instructional Affairs.
Sexual Discrimination (excluding sexual harassment): If a person feels that they have been wrongly denied participation in an educational program or activity based on sex, they may seek relief by filing a grievance*. The Assistant to the President has been designated to respond to such grievances.
* Filing a grievance: Under the college Title IX procedures people are offered two tracks when seeking relief - informal and formal. Under the informal process, the person may file a verbal grievance if they prefer. The college is then obligated to follow through with an informal inquiry which is reported back to the person. If the person is satisfied with the outcome of the inquiry, the matter ends. If they are not satisfied, they may file a formal, written grievance. The process provided in the handbook and manual will be followed.
A person may file a formal grievance without going through the informal process. Filing an informal grievance in no way reduces the rights of the person to later use the formal process.
