Crime Prevention
A campus community must do more than just react to crime; it must look for opportunities
to deter crime. A variety of personal habits will help students, faculty, and staff
to maintain safe interactions while at the college’s campuses:
• Keep contact numbers for emergency calls in your cell phone
• Lock vehicles
• Remove expensive items from view in your vehicle
• Keep personal belongings with you or secured while on campus
• Ask someone to walk to your car with you after dark/don’t leave a student or staff
person alone in the parking lot after dark.
• Buddy system – work together to keep each other safe
• Do not prop open building doors
• Be aware of your surroundings, trust your instincts and practice common sense.
• Report suspicious actions to the campus administration
Sexual and Gender Harassment
pg电子app下载 is pledged to maintain a safe working and learning environment because sexual harassment can interfere with a student's academic performance and emotional and physical well-being, and that preventing and remedying sexual harassment in schools is essential to ensure nondiscriminatory, safe environments in which students can learn.
Current laws define various violent and/or non-consensual sexual acts as crimes. Additionally, Nebraska Indian Community College has a defined category of sexual misconduct for which action under this policy may be imposed. Generally speaking, pg电子app下载 considers sexual intimidation or exploitation violations to be the most serious, and therefore typically imposes the most severe sanctions, including suspension or expulsion for students and termination for employees. However, pg电子app下载 reserves the right to impose any level of sanction, ranging from a reprimand up to and including suspension or expulsion/termination, for any act of sexual misconduct or other gender-based offenses, including intimate partner or relationship violence, nonconsensual sexual contact, and stalking based on the facts and circumstances of the grievance.
Complaints regarding sexual and gender harassment will be directed to the Human Resource Manager and/or Academic Dean.
pg电子app下载 does not have specific on-campus programing related to prevention of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking as defined below, however, we do cooperate with the ONCRT DV Program and DTSU.
Dating, Domestic, Sexual Assault and Stalking.
Sexual misconduct against any member of the Nebraska Indian Community College will be turned over to local authorities for investigation since pg电子app下载 does not have any on campus housing or will be handled through the pg电子app下载 grievance policy as stated below. Reporting persons are the Administrative Personnel listed in the Introduction and the Title IX Coordinator, HR Manager as previously stated. All pg电子app下载 Staff were responsible for completing Clery Act, VAWA, and Title IX basic training in 2019. 10 employees completed the Campus Security Authority (CSA) Training.
Discipline
Students are to maintain orderly conduct that is consistent with an educational environment. An instructor may remove a student from the classroom for behavior that violates the right of his peers. The violation is then reported to the Academic Dean for review and action. Discipline is the responsibility of the Academic Dean who has the authority to act on any violation and take whatever action is deemed appropriate. The Academic Dean will review all complaints and may dismiss the allegations, make an administrative disposition, or conduct a formal hearing in conjunction with the grievance committee. Possible disciplinary actions can be found in the Student Rights section of this catalog. Students dissatisfied with findings of the Academic Dean should follow the Grievance Procedure.
Discrimination
Fair, prompt, and impartial consideration of complaints involving discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, sex, age, national origin, Tribal affiliation, or disability will be provided to students and staff without fear of reprisal. Full cooperation will be provided to an individual who files a complaint of discrimination. Matters of discrimination can be directed to the Human Resources Manager or Academic Dean.
Procedures and Policies of pg电子app下载
