Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a form of employee misconduct, which undermines the integrity of the employment relationship. It is the policy of the College that sexual harassment will not be tolerated. Violators of this policy are subject to severe discipline, up to and including discharge of the offending employee or employees.
Sexual harassment occurs when sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or any conduct of a sexual nature is made a condition of employment, results in advantages if agreed to or losses if rejected, interferes with job performance or results in a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environment. This definition includes many types of offensive behavior and includes gender based harassment of a person of the same sex as the harassed. The College expressly prohibits sexual harassment of any nature.
Any complaints or inquiries regarding sexual harassment should be brought to the immediate attention of the Director of Human Resources. The College will investigate such claims promptly, and thoroughly without regard to the identities or positions held by either the complaining employee or the employee charged with the sexual harassment. The College will not tolerate harassment by its employees on non-employees (i.e., Students) with whom the College has a business, service, or professional relationship. Similarly, the College will not tolerate harassment by third party harassers. If, for any reason, an employee wishes to complain or inquire regarding sexual harassment but feels it would not be appropriate to raise such issues with the Director of Human Resources, such employee may inquire or complain to any officer of the College at the level of Vice President or above, and such inquiries or complaints will receive the same prompt investigation
.
Employees will not be disciplined or discriminated against in any way for sexual harassment inquiries or complaints made in good faith. If harassment is established, the College will discipline the offender. Disciplinary action for violations of this policy can range from verbal or written warnings up to and including immediate termination, depending on the circumstances. Violators of this policy are subject to severe discipline, up to and including discharge of the offending employee or employees.
The policy against sexual harassment can be accessed in the Staff Handbook (login required).
In addition, please refer to the non-retaliation policy.
