ParkingComplaint Resolution
Pasadena Area Community College District (District) has established guidelines for resolving all types of discrimination, harassment, retaliation and sexual violence complaints. There are several early resolution options, depending on the circumstances, including educational programs for targeted campus units or for particular individuals. Where early resolution is unsuccessful or inappropriate, a formal complaint may be filed and a formal investigation undertaken. There is no prescribed sequence, so choosing one option first does not prevent a complainant from choosing a different option for resolution a later time.
Reports of sex offenses may be made to the Office of Human Resources, Police and College Safety, the Office of Student Life, or Student Health Services.
Complaints
Complaints may be filed with the following resources:
-
Unlawful discrimination, harassment or retaliation may be reported to the Executive Director of Human Resources. Complainant will be asked to complete a Unlawful Harassment and Discrimination Complaint Form.
-
Sexual harassment offenses may be reported to the Office of Human Resources, the Office of Student Life, or the Student Health Services.Complainant will also be asked to complete a Sexual Harassment Complaint form.
-
Sexual assault offenses may be made to the Office of Human Resources, Police and College Safety, or the Office of Student Life, Student Health Services. A report may also be filed with the local police department by calling 911. Complainant will also be asked to complete a Sexual Harassment Complaint form.
-
Title IX violations should be reported to the Title IX Coordinator in the Office of Human Resources.
Because complaints of discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence are most effectively addressed at the earliest possible stage, Pasadena Area Community College District encourages early reporting of concerns or complaints regarding harassment. You may obtain advice without filing a complaint. Unreasonable delay in reporting harassment or failure to utilize the District complaint resolution procedures may, in some cases, affect your legal rights.
