Sexual Harassment Policy:
H. Councill Trenholm State
Technical College affirms its commitment to ensuring an environment for all
employees and students which is fair, humane, and respectful. Therefore, the College will not tolerate any
verbal or physical conduct that constitutes sexual harassment of any employee

Such behaviors are prohibited by Federal

“Harassment on the basis of sex is a
violation of Section 703 of Title VII.
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual behaviors, and other
verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassments
when (1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a
term or condition of an individual’s employment, (2) submission to or rejection
of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions
affecting such individual, or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of
substantially interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an
intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.”
H. Councill Trenholm State Technical
College deplores such conduct as an abuse of authority, and thus it is an
official institutional policy that sexual harassment of employees and/or
students will not be tolerated. The
College accepts the proposition that sexual harassment, like any civil rights
violation, generates a harmful environment.

alleged harassment and to effect remedy when an allegation is determined to be
valid.
