Great Basin College will not tolerate sexual harassment of students, faculty, staff and other members of the campus community. Victims of sexual harassment can feel hurt, frustrated, and helpless. As a member institution of the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), GBC adheres to the policies and disciplinary sanctions set forth by the Board of Regents. The President has designated the Administrative Officer/Title IX Coordinator or the Affirmative Action Officer as the officials responsible for receiving complaints of sexual harassment. Any administrator, employee, or supervisor who is aware of an alleged incident of sexual harassment will take immediate action to bring the matter to the attention of the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, Title IX Coordinator/Administrative Officer or the Vice President for Business Affairs (Affirmative Action Officer). Both are located in Berg Hall.
Sexual harassment including sexual violence is a form of discrimination; it is illegal. No employee or student, either in the workplace or in the academic environment, should be subject to unwelcome verbal or physical conduct that is sexual in nature. Sexual harassment does not refer to occasional compliments of a socially acceptable nature. It refers to behavior of a sexual nature that is not welcome, that is personally offensive, and that interferes with performance.
It is expected that students, faculty and staff will treat one another with respect. For emergency reporting, please contact the staff listed on the Campus Safety Emergency Reporting page.
Under this policy, unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other visual, verbal or physical conduct of a sexual or gender bias nature constitute sexual harassment when:
Sexual violence is a severe form of sexual harassment, and refers to physical sexual acts or attempted sexual acts perpetrated against a person’s will or where a person is incapable of giving consent, including but not limited to rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, sexual coercion or similar acts in violation of state or federal law.
Sexual Assault
Sexual Assault means a person subjects another person to sexual penetration, or who forces another person to make a sexual penetration on himself or herself or
another, or on a beast, against the will of the victim or under conditions in which the
perpetrator knows or should know that the victim is mentally or physically incapable
of resisting or understanding the nature of his or her conduct.
For prevention tips and steps of what to do if you have been assaulted, please refer to the Campus Safety Sexual Assault Policy page.
