How to File a Complaint
If you experience sexual discrimination, harassment, or violence, you have rights and you have options. Title IX and CFCC resources exist to help you get the assistance you need. Whether you are a student, faculty member, staff member, or guest, you have the right to file a complaint through the College and/or explore options to address concerns.
Any person (student, faculty, staff, or guest) who believes that they have been subject to gender-based discriminatory practices at the College may discuss concerns and file informal or formal complaints of potential Title IX violations. In the event of an emergency, please call 911.
