| Roxbury Community College is committed to providing an
atmosphere for learning that is free of any conduct that
could be considered harassing, abusive or disorderly. In
order to ensure that the College meets its obligation to
all members of the community, procedures and programs have
been established.
Sexual harassment is an abuse of power, which is considered
demeaning and interferes with one's ability to work or
participate in educational activities.
Under Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 151B, Section
4(1) and Section 16A, sexual harassment is a form of
sex discrimination and is illegal.
Sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to the
following:
a) Sexual advances
b) Requests for sexual favors
c) Other physical conduct of a sexual nature when submission
to or rejection of such advances, requests or conduct
is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition
of employment or a basis for education or employment
decisions. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of
creating an intimidating, hostile, humiliating, or sexual
offensive educational, employment or living environment.
If you believe that you have been subjected to sexual
harassment or if you wish more information about sexual
harassment and grievance procedures, see the Enrollment
Management Office., who acts as the Student Grievance
Officer at Roxbury Community College.
