SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY
Gogebic Community College is committed to providing a safe and non-discriminatory learning, living, and working
environments for all members of the campus community.
In compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, GCC does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of
sex in any of its educational programs or activities that it operates, including against any employee, applicant for
employment, student, or applicant for admission. Members of the GCC community have the right to be free from all
forms of sexual harassment and misconduct, and all members of the GCC community are expected to conduct
themselves in accordance with the College’s Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy.
To ensure compliance with Title IX and other federal and state civil rights laws, the College has designated a Title IX
Coordinator to monitor compliance with Title IX and ensure that reports of sexual or gender-based harassment or
misconduct are appropriately investigated and addressed by the College. Any student, faculty, or staff member who has
questions or concerns about their rights under Title IX or who believes that they have been the victim of sexual or
gender-based harassment or misconduct, is encouraged to contact the College’s Title IX Coordinator.
Any person may report sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, via email, phone, or mail at any time or in
person during normal business hours using the contact information of the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Coordinators.
Anonymous reports can also be submitted electronically at https://reports.ethicaladvocate.com/.
Additional information can be located at https://www.gogebic.edu/currentstudents/titleix.html, or contact the Title IX
Coordinator/Vice President of Student Services and Athletics.
DRUG-FREE CAMPUS
Under the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, Gogebic Community College has adopted
and implemented policies that promote a drug and alcohol-free campus. Policy information is printed and distributed
annually to all members of the college community. Students should be aware that in addition to the serious health,
legal, and personal problems associated with the illicit use or abuse of alcohol and other drugs, there can be College
disciplinary actions as well. Sanctions for violation of the law and/or College policy can include suspension or dismissal
from the College. Confidential referral assistance is available for addressing difficulties related to alcohol and other
drugs. For more information, please contact the Career Counselor in the ACES Center on the Ironwood Campus, or via
phone at 906-307-1209.
