Referrals to various agencies who assist victims of crime are made both through the Department, the Dean of Students Office or the Women's Center. Campus community members are notified of any violent incident or crime against property occurring on campus which may pose a threat to their personal safety and security. The Crime Alert Bulletins are posted in prominent areas at the affected locations and by circulating the information to college employees through inner campus and electronic mail. Fliers on specific crime prevention topics are posted at strategic locations at all campuses, delivered to college employees through inter-campus mail and sent to the student newspaper, The Clipper . Institutions must also establish and publish in their annual security report, procedures to be followed when a sex offense has occurred.
Rape is defined as sexual penetration without mutual consent.
Termination of employment or dismissal from the college is the maximum penalty EvCC may impose. The Department of Campus Safety should be notified as soon as practical of any incident of sexual assault or sexual misconduct that occurs on campus. The well being of the victim is the primary concern of the Department, and an active victim's referral program is available. The Department will offer guidance to assist in evidence preservation and will also notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities. EvCC complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations and executive orders.
