Administrative Regulation:  Filing, Processing, and Adjudicating Complaints

Regulation Number:  3.12.1

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Complaint Process.  All complaints of sexual harassment will be investigated.  Employee complaints should be filed with the complainant’s immediate supervisor or the Human Resources Director.

Student complaints should be registered with the Dean of Instruction or the Human Resources Director. If the complaint cannot be resolved at this level, the College Grievance Procedure under EWC Grievance Policy No. 1.7 should be followed.  Victims of sexual harassment are strongly encouraged to disclose any episode(s) of sexual harassment.  Such disclosure will assist EWC in its attempts to prevent future episodes of sexual harassment.

Adjudicated Outcomes. Any Eastern Wyoming College agent or employee who is found to have engaged in sexual harassment of another employee or student will be subject to disciplinary sanctions, which may include, but not limited to, written reprimand, demotion, transfer, required professional counseling, and/or termination of employment.    Any student who violates this policy will be subject to prompt and appropriate discipline.  Such discipline may result in the student being expelled from Eastern Wyoming College.

No employee or student shall suffer reprisal from Eastern Wyoming College as a consequence of filing a “good faith” complaint.
