Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination and it is illegal.
Conduct of a sexual nature that has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual s work or school performance or that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work or study environment also constitutes sexual harassment. The Board of Trustees, President, and other administrators of Lower Columbia College reaffirm that sexual harassment will not be tolerated at the College. The College has a responsibility to create greater awareness of the problem among faculty members, staff, and students. Training is available for all College constituencies regarding the policy and how complaints will be investigated and resolved. Complaints or accusations of sexual harassment can sometimes be related to amorous relations between an instructor or other employee and a student or employee for whom he or she has a professional supervisory responsibility.
