Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is a type of harassment involving the use of explicit or implicit sexual overtones, including the unwelcome or inappropriate promise of rewards in exchange for sexual favors. Sexual harassment includes a range of actions from unwelcome or unwanted verbal, nonverbal, or physical attention or contact that is sexual in nature, such as sexual slurs, vulgar jokes, advances, and derogatory statements of actions, to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.

Sexual harassment is prohibited under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and is against the law. Bridgerland Technical College is obligated to create a safe campus community and resolves to prevent sexual harassment from occurring in its education programs and activities.

The college has adopted the Title IX and Protection from Sex Discrimination (533) policy, which applies to all students, staff, and faculty. The policy defines and prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex (including domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking), details how to report a violation of the policy, and describes resources and supportive measures to protect those involved in the process. The policy outlines investigation, disciplinary, and due process procedures for addressing reported violations. The college is legally required to follow up on every report. The college takes sexual harassment seriously while ensuring a fair process for everyone involved. This is an administrative process, not a criminal process. A sexual harassment report may be made at any time. Although the Title IX and Protection from Sex Discrimination policy (533) shall govern, other school policies may be relevant.

A police report may be made. At the Logan Campus contact the colleges Resource Officer by calling 435.750.3103 or contact the Logan City Police Department at 435.716.9300 for more information. Any emergency or criminal activity should be reported by calling 9-1-1; non-emergency situations may be reported by calling the Dispatch Center directly at 435.753.7555. At the Brigham City Campus contact the Brigham City Police Department by calling 435.734.6650. Any emergency or criminal activity should be reported by calling 9-1-1.
