By law, all university disciplinary procedures provide due-process protection for the accuser and the accused. Both the accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunities to have others present during a campus disciplinary proceeding. At the conclusion of the mandated hearings related to the sexual offense, both the accuser and the accused shall be informed of the decision and sanction. A victim's physical and emotional well-being is of paramount concern. It is also important to consider preserving physical evidence to assist in apprehending and prosecuting any attacker.
Prevention is the best remedy.
The College presents regular workshops on how to prevent rape. Please check bulletin boards or call the Office of Student Services for workshop dates and locations. Students who are victims of a sexual offense will be assisted in continuing their studies by changing academic or living arrangements whenever requested by students, if such changes are possible. Educational programs to promote awareness of rape, acquaintance rape, and other sex offenses are provided by the Office of Student Services. The possession or use of lethal weapons on MCC premises is strictly prohibited.
