Complaint Procedures

Any individual who believes that he or she has been sexually harassed and wishes to file a complaint or has questions about the College's harassment policy should contact the Office of Human Resources and Employee Relations at (209) 954-5059. Every effort will be made to ensure that confidentiality is maintained and that due process is followed with respect to both parties. If evidence indicates that a complainant intentionally made false allegations, or made them maliciously, or that vexatious or otherwise unwarranted use of the complaint procedures took place, the District shall take appropriate disciplinary action. Procedures for filing a complaint of sexual harassment are described in Administrative Procedure 3430 and 3435. Copies of this procedure, any necessary forms, and the policy may be obtained from the Student Advocate or the Office of Human Resources.
