Employment & Benefits

Anti-Retaliation Policy

The College encourages its employees to make grievance reports of College-related misconduct. Retaliation as a response to such a report will not be tolerated. Retaliation, whether actual or threatened, destroys a sense of community and trust that is central to a quality work environment.

No employee will be disciplined or otherwise retaliated against for reporting alleged misconduct.

Any employee who believes he or she may have been subject to retaliation for making a complaint should report the suspected retaliation as outlined in the Grievance Procedure. Employees determined to have engaged in retaliatory behavior will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.
