歧视性的骚扰 

澳门葡京博彩软件肯定，教育环境各方面的多样性是实现最高水平学术卓越的必要条件. 学院追求卓越的一个核心要素是保持一个自由的环境，不合理地干扰其社区任何成员的学术和专业经验.

Consistent with its obligations as a recipient of financial assistance from the U.S. 教育部, the college complies with all relevant federal laws that prohibit discrimination in education, including  Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VI”), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of 比赛, color and national origin; 第九条 of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“第九条”), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex; and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (“Section 504”), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. 学院进一步遵守马萨诸塞州联邦禁止教育歧视的所有相关法律.

学院致力于创造一个对所有人开放的教育环境，不受年龄歧视, 比赛, color, 国籍/祖先, 宗教, 性或性别, 性别认同, 性取向, 精神或身体残疾, 遗传信息, or veteran status/membership in the uniformed services. 学院重申其承诺，所有社区成员都有责任维护这一原则，并承认他们在适用的联邦和州法规下的法律义务.

This policy will be adjudicated using the process described in the 不当性行为政策. Hearings to address reports of discriminatory harassment will be chaired by the Dean of 学生, 或者他们指定的人, 并由三(3)名听证委员会成员进行听证. This policy does NOT cover allegations of sexual misconduct, complaints of discrimination involving staff or faculty, 或者成绩纠纷. For sexual misconduct complaints, please see the 不当性行为政策. For allegations of discrimination involving staff and faculty, please see the 平等教育机会政策. Grade disputes are 政府erned by the college’s Grade Dispute Policy.

Discriminatory harassment is unwelcome verbal, written or physical conduct based on a person's actual or perceived 比赛, color or national origin or other protected category that substantially or unreasonably interferes with an individual's academic performance; adversely affects the targeted individual's or others' learning opportunities; or creates an intimidating, 敌对的或攻击性的环境.

这种行为的例子包括:

• 冒犯性或侮辱性言论, 言语虐待, 或者其他敌对行为，比如侮辱, 取笑, 嘲笑, degrading or ridiculing another person or group;
• Racial slurs, derogatory remarks about a person’s accent, or display of racially offensive symbols;
• 不受欢迎或不适当的身体接触, 评论, 问题, 进步, 笑话, epithets or demands; and
• Displays or electronic transmission of derogatory, demeaning or hostile materials.

当制裁, the offensiveness should be measured by its gravity, whether it is intended to be offensive and disrespectful, 即使学生已经被明确告知这是对他人的冒犯，这种行为是否还会重复, and by the effect the behavior has on the community and the student or students to whom it is directed.

This policy will be adjudicated by the student-run 大学行为委员会 当学生认为他们在大学生活中遭受过其他学生或其他学生的歧视性骚扰时，将使用该工具. 以学校为例, conduct under this policy will be heard by its designated hearing board made up of faculty and staff.  However, prior to a formal adjudication process the following mechanism may be available to parties:

非正式解决程序

增进互信, 学习和理解, students are encouraged to address matters through informal resolution, 虽然他们不需要这样做. The college encourages open and honest communication between members of its community. Often differences can be resolved by communication between the relevant parties. 进一步, the pursuit of an informal resolution does not prevent the student from submitting a formal grievance, 如果非正式决议失败.

鼓励学生与与潜在争议有关的社区成员讨论此事. 公平与包容办公室(OEI), 学生事务职员, 或者是社会工作学校, 负责研究生招生和学生服务的副院长准备协助评估一个问题，并解释解决和纠正问题的选择和可用资源. Questions are encouraged; merely discussing an incident in this way does not commit an individual to making a complaint. 旨在非正式解决问题的讨论必须保密，通常不超过七(7)个工作日.

当有一个各方都能接受的商定的解决方案时，该问题将被视为解决. If the student feels that no satisfactory resolution has been made, the student may seek formal resolution through the 大学行为委员会 process.

正式投诉程序

学生可以通过ethicpoint或联系学生主任或平等机会与合规主任发起正式投诉. 在所有情况下, the college will respond to reports of violations of this policy in a prompt, 公平公正的态度. In the interests of ensuring that 调查s are done in an effective manner, students are encouraged to make complaints immediately after the conduct of complaint occurs. The complaint should document and describe the alleged discriminatory conduct, 这种行为是如何违反这一政策的, the evidence supporting the alleged violation, and a description of the redress sought by the complainant.

就本政策而言, the person who reports that they have been subjected to discrimination based on their protected status, or is the subject of such a report shall be referred to as the “Complainant.” The person against whom the complaint is filed shall be referred to as the “Respondent.”

当学院收到正式投诉时, it will promptly investigate the allegation in a fair and expeditious manner. 我们将尽一切努力进行调查，同时在实际情况下尽可能保密. 一旦事情被彻底调查, it will be referred to the 大学行为委员会 or, 以社会工作学院为例, 其听证委员会.  If it is determined that this policy has been violated, the college will act to eliminate the offending conduct and, 在适当的地方, 将给予纪律处分 

初步投诉评估

在收到投诉后, the director of equal opportunity and compliance and the conduct board adviser, 或者是社会工作学校, 负责研究生招生和学生服务的副院长应共同审查投诉，以决定是否, 从表面上看, 它声称违反了学校的政策，或者投诉的主题是否属于另一所学校的政策. 关于是否进行调查的决定应在提交投诉后的七(7)个工作日内完成.

In such cases the normal procedures of the 大学行为委员会 or Hearing Board will be followed. The normal procedures will include: referral of a case, 事件回顾, 投诉通知书, 调查, 和听力. The complaint shall be shared with 被申请人 as part of this process.

投诉的调查和解决

平等机会和合规主管将调查或监督对投诉指控的调查. 调查人员应及时调查该事项，以便通常在提交投诉后六十(60)个日历日内发布调查结果和建议. 

The investigator will serve as a neutral fact-finder. The 调查 will consist of (but will not necessarily be limited to) interviews of the Complainant, 被申请人, and other individuals who may have 见证ed the reported incident or incidents. When the investigator has completed the 调查, the outcome of the 调查 and a recommendation will be shared with the 大学行为委员会, 投诉人及被投诉人.

所有投诉的保密记录, 包括他们的性格, will be maintained by the Office for 公平与包容.

报复

学院不会容忍因个人提出投诉或协助调查投诉而遭到报复. 报复被定义为对某个人或群体采取或试图采取不利行动，因为该人或群体参与了根据本程序进行的善意报告或调查，无论该人或群体是否作为申诉者, 被调查者, 见证, 管理员或任何其他角色. 报复 can be committed by any individual or group of individuals, 不只是投诉人或被投诉人. 报复可以采取多种形式, 包括威胁, 恐吓, 欺凌, 攻击, 身体上的伤害, 情感虐待, 财产损坏或盗窃, 被排除在职位之外, 协会或事件, 等. 学生可以通过ethicpoint或联系学生主任或机构公平官员发起正式的报复投诉.

保密

通过本程序调查和解决投诉所采取的所有行动都应尽可能保密, 尽可能谨慎和保密, without compromising the thoroughness and fairness of the 调查. All persons involved should treat the situation with respect. 进行彻底的调查, 调查人员可以与证人以及与投诉有关或受投诉影响的人员讨论投诉, 以及协助调查或实施适当纪律处分所必需的人员. Disciplinary outcomes will be kept confidential.
