Sexual Harassment Policy – 2025-2026

Sexual Harassment is defined as conduct based on sex that occurs within a CCS education program or activity that is unwelcome when the individual did not request or invite the conduct, and regarded it as undesirable or offensive. The fact that an individual may have tolerated the conduct does not mean that they welcomed it. Sexual harassment is a violation of the college ethics policy and will not be tolerated among any individual on campus including but not limited to staff, administration, faculty, students, volunteers, and visitors. The process for reporting harassment is detailed below in Ethics Violation Adjudication Process. Victims of sexual harassment are encouraged to report the event immediately to an administrative staff member.
Students who receive counseling, tutoring, or mentoring in a mixed gender format from other students, administration, or faculty are encouraged to do so in an observable, public forum to avoid one-on-one, private conversations. This helps keep the campus community above reproach in interpersonal interactions.
