Syllabus: Title IX Statement

Title IX Disclosure:

Pierce College and this academic department welcome students from all over the world with various backgrounds and life experiences. Pierce College is committed to fostering a safe and productive learning environment. Pierce College has zero tolerance for discrimination, and/or sexual harassment, which includes sexual misconduct such as, domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, and stalking. Any sexual violence or physical abuse, as defined by California law, whether committed by an employee, student, or member of the public, occurring on college-owned or controlled property, at college-sponsored or supervised functions, or related to or arising from college attendance or activity is a violation of District policies and regulations, and is subject to all applicable punishment, including criminal and/or civil prosecution and employee or student discipline procedures.

Pierce College Students assume an obligation to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with the college’s function as an educational institution, which respects the rights of others to learn, and to acknowledge the academic freedom to teach and communicate in an environment that fosters learning and creativity. With that in mind, it is important to keep a respectful tone and attitude when communicating and interacting with your colleagues. You are the only you. No one else will have your sensibilities of what is funny or interesting. Part of being respectful is also realizing that someone else may be offended by something you think is “every day normal.”

Students who have experienced some form of sexual misconduct or discrimination are encouraged to talk to someone about their experience, so they can get the support they need.
