VANCOUVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE POLICY AND PROCEDURES MANUAL Policy No.: Issue Date: Amendment: Source: 1.1.0.7 November 1991 #1 - March 1992 College Board Title: HARASSMENT POLICY Concerning: All Administrators, Cross Referent President's Approval: POLICY 1. Statement of Principle Vancouver Community College is committed to the principle that all members of the college community have the right to work and study in an environment which is free from harassment. The College does not condone and will not tolerate harassing behavior which may undermine the dignity, self-esteem, and productivity of any student(s) or employee(s) . The College considers any form of harassment of an individual involved in College activities to be a serious violation of that individual's fundamental rights. Such a violation is a serious offence which may be subject to a range of resolutions including mediated settlement or, in certain circumstances, disciplinary measures up to and including dismissal or expulsion. 2. Definition (a) Harassment, for the purposes of this policy, is behavior which, generally, is both: i) discriminatory in nature based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, union or association membership, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, political belief, mental or physical disability or conviction of a criminal offence; and ii) objectionable because the person committing such behavior knows or ought reasonably to know that the behavior creates an environment unconducive to work or study; but, in certain circumstances, may be only objectionable. (b) For the purposes of paragraph 2(a)(ii), objectionable behavior includes, but is not limited to: ' Policy No.: 1.1.0.7 s Rage Harassment Policy i) verbal abuse or threats; ii) offensive remarks, jokes, innuendos, or taunting; iii) display of pornographic, racist, or other offensive or derogatory material; iv) persistent unwelcome invitations or requests, whether direct or indirect; v) unwelcome physical contact such as touching, patting, pinching and punching; and vi) psychological abuse such as leering, badgering and intimidating actions. (c) Harassment may occur during: i) one incident; or ii) a series of incidents of which any one incident, considered in isolation, may not constitute harassment. (d) One specific form of harassment which is covered by this policy is sexual harassment. Sexual harassment may include unwanted sexual attention or sexual solicitation or sexually oriented remarks or behavior. Sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to: i) implied or expressed promise or reward with respect to a term or terms of employment, academic status, or academic credit, for compliance with a sexually oriented request; ii) reprisal or implied or expressed threat of reprisal with respect to a term or terms of employment, academic status, or academic credit for failure to comply with a sexually orientated request; iii) denial of opportunity or the threat to deny opportunity with respect to academic status,.academic credit, or a term or terms of employment for failure to comply with a sexually orientated request; and iv) unwanted sexual attention or solicitation which has the effect of interfering with an individual's work or academic performance, or which creates an environment unconducive to work or study. 2 Policy No.: 1.1.0.7 Harassment Policy The examples above include those circumstances where the person exhibiting the behavior, in fact, does not have the authority to carry out such promise, reward, threat or denial of opportunity. 3. Confidentiality Subject to the College being required to provide information to any external board or court and subject to a resolution of an incident of harassment which requires disclosing certain information, the College, in addressing alleged harassment ^nd in resolving incidents of harassment, will make every effort to keep confidential any information concerning an allegation of harassment or an incident of harassment. In certain circumstances, the resolution of an incident or incidents of harassment may entail the disclosure, by the College President or delegate, of information regarding the incident of harassment. 4.

Print Copyright Services The Library will continue to request copyright clearance for articles placed on reserve. However, college departments will be responsible for seeking copyright permissions for multiple copies of print materials distributed to students in class or through the bookstore. A workshop on how to request copyright clearance is planned. 2. Routing of Periodicals The reduction in library staff makes it impossible for the library to continue the popular routing service. Instructors, administrators, and staff members are encouraged to visit the library on a regular basis to scan their favourite periodicals. A "contents page" service is being considered as a substitute. However, implementation of such a service will need to be phased in as time permits. The Library staff regrets the loss of these important services. For further information relating to administrative and policy matters please contact me at 871 7165.

A college review of services to support promotional, public relations and advertising functions previously performed by IMS is recommended. The Instructional Media Services are being reorganized to support the instructional needs at each campus. To achieve this goal, the Audio-Visual supervisor on each campus will report to the Campus Librarian who will represent the combined service at campus council meetings. Overall coordination of the media services will be provided by the Media Coordinator, Linda Prince. Considerable consultation has already taken place at each campus to determine the focus of the revised service.
