UPCOMING EVENTS
Section I: Policy
澳门码今期开奖结果 is committed to providing an atmosphere for learning that is free of any conduct that could be considered harassing, abusive, or disorderly. In an effort to assure safety to all members of the college community, the procedures set forth on the following pages have been established. Copies of these procedures are available in the offices of the Academic Advising, Counseling and Health Services, Vice President for Student Services and Enrollment Management, and 澳门码今期开奖结果 Police.
Sexual assault is a criminal offense and will not be tolerated. Sexual assault includes forcible and non-forcible offenses.
澳门码今期开奖结果 is required by the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 and the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 to collect information related to sexual assault on campus. When an allegation of sexual assault is made, the alleged victim is encouraged to pursue criminal prosecution. In addition, appropriate campus disciplinary action may be pursued.
All allegations of sexual assault will be handled confidentially and will be investigated. Both the accuser and the accused will have equal opportunity for a hearing. For additional information, contact 澳门码今期开奖结果鈥檚 Title IX Coordinator, Magie Hudson. She may be contacted by telephone at 774.357.3084 or email correspondence at Magie.Hudson@澳门码今期开奖结果CC.edu. The Human Resources office may be contacted by telephone at 774.357.2333 or email correspondence at DiversityTitleIX@澳门码今期开奖结果CC.edu.
Section II: Prevention
Although 澳门码今期开奖结果 acknowledges the reality of rape and sexual assault in society, we have adopted a pro-active prevention plan with education and awareness programs to prevent these crimes on campus.
The prevention of sexual assault depends in part on the awareness of an individual鈥檚 responsibility for crime prevention and personal safety. Education at 澳门码今期开奖结果 Community College is provided through programs and educational booklets which include:
- Staff development/employee training.
- Student and employee handbooks.
- Campus media including the newspaper and newsletters.
- Seminars, workshops, pamphlets and posters addressing specific issues, such as sexual
assault, acquaintance rape, sexual harassment, self-protection for men and women and
crime reporting.
In spite of our efforts, some rapes and sexual assaults may occur. It is our concern that when a rape or sexual assault is reported to campus authorities, the victim鈥檚 welfare is paramount and he or she is not victimized again by the system. With this in mind, we have established procedures to follow in the event of a rape or sexual assault on campus.
