PROHIBITION OF HARASSMENT
(Administrative Procedures 3430)
The Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District
(District) is committed to providing an academic
and work environment free from harassment. This
procedure denes sexual harassment and other forms
of harassment on District property, and sets forth
a procedure for the investigation and resolution of
complaints of harassment by or against any staff or
faculty member or student within the District.
This procedure protects students, employees, unpaid
interns and volunteers in connection with all the
academic, educational, extracurricular, athletic, and
other programs of the District, whether those programs
take place in the District’s facilities, a District bus or
van, or at a class or training program sponsored by
the District at another location. The procedure below
is based, but may not be limited on the following
denitions:
Denitions
General Harassment: Harassment based on ethnic
group identification, race, color, national origin,
religion, sex or gender, ancestry, physical disability,
mental disability, medical condition, genetic
information, marital status, gender, gender identity,
gender expression, military or veteran status, age, or
sexual orientation of any person, or the perception
that a person has one or more of these characteristics is
illegal and violates District policy. Harassment shall be
found where, in aggregate, the incidents are suciently
pervasive, persistent, or severe that a reasonable
person with the same characteristics as the victim of
the harassing conduct would be adversely affected
to a degree that interferes with his or her ability to
participate in or to realize the intended benefits of
an institutional activity, employment, or resource.
Gender-based harassment does not necessarily involve
conduct that is sexual. Any hostile or oensive conduct
based on gender can constitute prohibited harassment
if it meets the denition above. For example, repeated
derisive comments about a person’s competency to
DISTRICT AND
COLLEGE POLICIES
District and
College
Policies
48
Summer 2024 www.grossmont.edu
do the job, when based on that person’s gender, could
constitute gender-based harassment. Harassment
comes in many forms, including but not limited to
the following conduct that could, depending on the
circumstances, meet the definition above, or could
contribute to a set of circumstances that meets the
denition:
• Verbal: Inappropriate or offensive remarks, slurs,
jokes, or innuendoes based on a person’s race,
gender, sexual orientation, or other protected status.
This may include, but is not limited to, inappropriate
comments regarding an individual’s body, physical
appearance, attire, sexual prowess, marital status,
or sexual orientation; unwelcome flirting or
propositions; demands for sexual favors; verbal
abuse, threats, or intimidation; or sexist, patronizing,
or ridiculing statements that convey derogatory
attitudes based on gender, race nationality, sexual
orientation, or other protected status.
• Physical
: Inappropriate or oensive touching, assault,
or physical interference with free movement. This may
include, but is not limited to, kissing, patting, lingering
or intimate touches, grabbing, pinching, leering, staring,
unnecessarily brushing against or blocking another
person, whistling, or sexual gestures. It also includes
any physical assault or intimidation directed at an
individual due to that person’s gender, race, national
origin, sexual orientation, or other protected status.
Physical sexual harassment includes acts of sexual
violence, such as rape, sexual assault, sexual battery,
and sexual coercion. Sexual violence refers to physical
sexual acts perpetrated against a person’s will or where
a person is incapable of giving consent due to the
victim’s use of drugs or alcohol. An individual also may
be unable to give consent due to an intellectual or other
disability.
• Visual or Written: The display or circulation of
visual or written material that degrades an individual
or group based on gender, race, nationality, sexual
orientation, or other protected status. This may
include, but is not limited to, posters, cartoons,
drawings, graffiti, reading materials, computer
graphics, or electronic media transmissions.
• Environmental
: A hostile academic or work
environment may exist where it is permeated by
sexual innuendo; insults or abusive comments
directed at an individual or group based on gender,
race, nationality, sexual orientation, or other protected
status; or gratuitous comments regarding gender,
race, sexual orientation, or other protected status that
are not relevant to the subject matter of the class or
activities on the job. A hostile environment can arise
from an unwarranted focus on sexual topics or sexually
suggestive statements in the classroom or work
environment. It can also be created by an unwarranted
focus on, or stereotyping of, particular racial or ethnic
groups, sexual orientations, genders, or other protected
statuses. An environment may also be hostile toward
anyone who merely witnesses unlawful harassment
in his or her immediate surroundings, although the
conduct is directed at others. The determination of
whether an environment is hostile is based on
the totality of the circumstances, including such
factors as the frequency of the conduct, the severity
of the conduct, whether the conduct is humiliating
or physically threatening, and whether the conduct
unreasonably interferes with an individual’s learning or
work.
Sexual Harassment: In addition to the above, sexual
harassment consists of unwelcome sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, visual, or
physical conduct of a sexual nature made by someone
from, or in, the work or educational setting when:
•
submission to the conduct is explicitly or implicitly
made a term or condition of an individual’s
employment, academic status, or progress;
• submission to, or rejection of, the conduct by the
individual is used as a basis of employment or
academic decisions aecting the individual;
• the conduct has the purpose or effect of having
a negative impact upon the individual’s work or
academic performance, or of creating an intimidating,
hostile or oensive work or educational environment
(as more fully described below); or
• submission to, or rejection of, the conduct by the
individual is used as the basis for any decision
affecting the individual regarding benefits and
services, honors, programs, or activities available at
or through the community college.
This definition encompasses two kinds of sexual
harassment:
• “Quid pro quo” sexual harassment occurs when a
person in a position of authority makes educational
or employment benefits conditional upon an
individual’s willingness to engage in or tolerate
unwanted sexual conduct.
• “Hostile environment” sexual harassment occurs
when unwelcome conduct based on a person’s
gender is sufficiently severe or pervasive so as to
alter the conditions of an individual’s learning or
work environment, unreasonably interfere with an
individual’s academic or work performance, or create
an intimidating, hostile, or abusive learning or work
environment. The victim must subjectively perceive
the environment as hostile, and the harassment
must be such that a reasonable person of the same
gender would perceive the environment as hostile. A
single or isolated incident of sexual harassment may
be sucient to create a hostile environment if it is
severe, i.e. a sexual assault.
Sexually harassing conduct can occur between people
of the same or different genders. The standard for
determining whether conduct constitutes sexual
harassment is whether a reasonable person of the same
gender as the victim would perceive the conduct as
harassment based on sex.

CONSENSUAL RELATIONSHIPS
District employees are strongly discouraged from
entering into or maintaining any romantic or sexual
relationship with any student or employee over
whom they exercise any academic, administrative,
supervisory, evaluative, counseling, or extracurricular
authority or inuence.
There is an inherent imbalance of power and potential
for exploitation in such relationships. A conflict of
interest may arise if the administrator, faculty, or sta
member must evaluate the student’s or employee’s
work or make decisions affecting the employee or
student. The relationship may create an appearance
of impropriety and lead to charges of favoritism by
other students or employees. A consensual sexual
relationship may change, with the result that sexual
conduct that was once welcome becomes unwelcome
and harassing. In the event that such relationships
do occur, the District has the authority to transfer
any involved employee to eliminate or attenuate the
supervisory authority of one over the other, or of a
teacher over a student. Such action by the District is
a proactive and preventive measure to avoid possible
charges of harassment and does not constitute conduct
against any aected employee.
ACADEMIC FREEDOM
No provision of this Administrative Procedure shall
be interpreted to prohibit conduct that is legitimately
related to the course content, teaching methods,
scholarship, or public commentary of an individual
faculty member or the educational, political, artistic, or
literary expression of students in classrooms and public
forums. Freedom of speech and academic freedom
are, however, not limitless and this procedure will
not protect speech or expressive conduct that violates
federal or California anti-discrimination laws. The
Governing Board rearms its commitment to academic
freedom, but recognizes that academic freedom does
not allow any form of unlawful discrimination or
harassment. It is recognized that an essential function
of education is a probing of opinions and an exploration
of ideas that may cause some students discomfort. It is
further recognized that academic freedom insures the
faculty’s right to teach and the student’s right to learn.
PROCEDURE REGARDING COMPLAINTS OF
HARASSMENT
Any person who believes that they are being harassed
based on an actual or perceived protected characteristic
such as ethnic group identification, national origin,
religion, age, sex or gender, race, color, ancestry, sexual
orientation, marital status, veteran status, or physical or
mental disability, may le a written complaint describing
in
detail the alleged violation. All complaints shall be
signed and dated by the complainant and shall contain,
to the best of the complainant’s ability, the names of the
individuals involved, the date(s) of the event(s) at issue,
and a detailed description of the actions constituting the
alleged violation.
The District may return without action any complaints
that are inadequate because they do not state a clear
allegation of harassment or violation of the anti-
harassment policies.
The District shall investigate all complaints of harassment
.
To the extent practicable, a written determination on
all accepted written complaints will be issued to the
complainant within ninety (90) days of the ling of the
complaint. The equal employment opportunity ocer
will forward copies of all written complaints to the State
Chancellor’s Oce.
EMPLOYMENT
Complaints involving harassment in the course of
employment or attempting to secure employment must
be led as soon as possible after the occurrence of an
alleged violation and not later than sixty (60) days after
such occurrence unless the complainant can verify a
compelling reason for the District to waive the sixty (60)
day limitation.
If an employee or applicant for employment feels they
have been harassed and would like to le a complaint,
complaint procedures can be found on the District’s
Equal Employment Opportunity web site, or by contacting
the oce of the Vice Chancellor for Human Resources
and Labor Relations.
STUDENTS AND VISITORS
Complaints alleging violations that do not involve hiring
processes should be led as soon as possible after the
occurrence of an alleged violation.

PREREQUISITE ALERT
https://grossmont.edu/admissions/prerequisites
A prerequisite is a condition of enrollment that a student
is required to meet in order to demonstrate current
readiness for enrollment in a course or educational
program.
A corequisite is a condition of enrollment consisting
of a course that a student is required to simultaneously
take in order to enroll in another course.
An advisory on a recommended preparation is a
condition of enrollment that a student is advised, but
not required, to meet before, or in conjunction with,
enrollment in a course or educational program.

student who has been admitted to the college, except
that students may be required to meet necessary
and valid prerequisites. In addition, the District may
also limit enrollment in a course based on health and
safety considerations, facility limitations, or legal
requirements imposed by statute or regulations.
A student who does not meet a prerequisite or
corequisite or who is not permitted to enroll due to a
limitation on enrollment but who provides satisfactory
evidence may seek entry into the course as follows:
1. If space is available in a course when a student
les a challenge to the prerequisite, corequisite, or
advisory on recommended preparation, the college
District and
College
Policies
52
Summer 2024 www.grossmont.edu
shall reserve a seat for the student and resolve
the challenge within ve (5) working days. If the
challenge is upheld or the college fails to resolve the
challenge within the ve (5) working day period, the
student shall be allowed to enroll in the course.
If no space is available in the course when the
challenge is filed, the challenge shall be resolved
prior to the beginning of registration for the next
term and, if the challenge is upheld, the student
shall be permitted to enroll if space is available
when the student registers for that subsequent term.
2. Grounds for challenge are:
a. The prerequisite or corequisite has not been
established in accordance with the college’s
process for establishing prerequisites and
corequisites;
b. The prerequisite or corequisite is in violation of
Title 5 regulations (Section 55201);

unlawfully discriminatory or is being applied in
an unlawfully discriminatory manner;
d. The student has the knowledge or ability to
succeed in the course or program despite not
meeting the prerequisite or corequisite;
e. The student will be subject to undue delay
in attaining the goal of his or her Student

corequisite course has not been made reasonably
available. If other courses are available which
meet the same requirement, the student is not
being delayed. There is no obligation to honor
the student’s preference.
f. The student has not been allowed to enroll
in a course due to a limitation on enrollment
estab-lished for (a) a course that involves
intercollegiate competition or public
performance, or (b) a course limited to a cohort
of students. The student shall be allowed to
enroll if otherwise he or she would be delayed by
a semester in attaining the degree or certicate
specied in his or her Student Educational Plan.

a prerequisite established to protect health and
safety, and the student demonstrates that he or
she does not pose a threat to himself or herself or
others.

be upheld. However, where facts essential to the
determination of whether the student’s challenge

produce that information.
Students wishing to challenge prerequisites for any
other reason should do so using the Student Due
Process Procedures (check the catalog).
