  • Employee Reporting Procedure for Harassment or Discrimination

    • When sexual misconduct occurs, the College sees the health and wellbeing of the victim(s) as the immediate and primary concern. Since time is crucially important in situations like this, the College educates and encourages any employee who finds themselves in this situation to report the incident as soon as possible to the Executive Director of Human Resources.

    • If the victim, witness, friend, or family member is reporting an incident after normal business hours, please notify any Campus Safety Officer (330-469-4119 or x6107 on campus). This staff member will put you in direct contact with the Executive Director of Human Resources as soon as possible.
