Sexual Harassment Policy

Sexual harassment is a form of unlawful sexual discrimination and will not be tolerated by the College.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT INCLUDES:

• submission to conduct which is explicitly or implicitly made a term or a condition of an individual's employment, academic status, or progress;
• submission to, or rejection of, conduct by an individual which is used as the basis of an employment or academic decision affecting the individual or has the purpose or effect of having a negative impact upon the individual's work or academic performance, or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work or educational environment; and
• submission to or rejection of, conduct by the individual which is used as the basis for any decision affecting the individual regarding benefits and services, honors, programs, or activities available at or through the educational institution.  (Education Code Section 212.5)

  
The College strongly forbids any form of sexual harassment, including acts of nonemployees. Disciplinary action will be taken promptly against any student or employee, supervisory or otherwise, engaging in sexual harassment.
