The District is committed to providing an academic and work environment that respects
the dignity of individuals and groups. The District shall be free of sexual harassment and
all forms of sexual intimidation and exploitation including acts of sexual violence. It shall

mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender,
gender identity, gender expression, age, or sexual orientation of any person, or because
he or she is perceived to have one or more of the foregoing characteristics.

and volunteers feel free to report incidents of harassment without fear of retaliation or
reprisal. Therefore, the District also strictly prohibits retaliation against any individual for
filing a complaint of harassment or for participating in a harassment investigation. Such
conduct is illegal and constitutes a violation of this policy. All allegations of retaliation

has occurred, it will take all reasonable steps within its power to stop such conduct.
Individuals who engage in retaliatory conduct are subject to disciplinary action, up to
and including termination or expulsion.
Any student, employee, unpaid intern or volunteer who believes that he or she has
been harassed or retaliated against in violation of this policy should immediately
report such incidents by following the procedures described in AR 3435 Discrimination
and Harassment Investigations. Supervisors are mandated to report all incidents of
harassment and retaliation that come to their attention.
This policy applies to all aspects of the academic environment, including but not
limited to classroom conditions, grades, academic standing, employment opportunities,
scholarships, recommendations, disciplinary actions, and participation in any community
college activity. In addition, this policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment,
