Sexual Assault Awareness

Commitment to Training, Education, and Prevention

The Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Compliance (OEIC) and the District at large are committed to educating our students, employees, and community members about proactive steps they can take to mitigate the detrimental impacts of rape, sexual assault, and sexual misconduct. We offer sexual violence awareness and prevention programming year-round, as well as training for employees and students.

Syllabus Statement: Responsible Employees

The suggestion here is intended to provide guidelines in the absence of a campus-approved statement. District employees should check the guidelines at their College for guidance on syllabus language.
