Bullying

Bullying is the repeated use by one or more people of a written, verbal or electronic (cyber bullying) expression or a physical act or gesture or any combination thereof, directed at a another person that: (i) causes physical or emotional harm to another person or damage to the person's property; (ii) places the person in reasonable fear of harm to self or of damage to personal property; (iii) creates a hostile environment at the College for the person; (iv) infringes on the rights of the person at the College; or (v) materially and substantially disrupts the education process or the orderly operation of the College.

Any accusations of violation of the College's bullying policy will be addressed through the community standards process in situations where the identity of the student engaging in this behavior can be clearly identified. In incidents where the identity cannot be determined, the College will attempt to intervene and discussed the matters with the student who has been alleged to engage in this behavior to determine if they are responsible.

Any bullying and/or cyber-bullying related to sex and/or gender will be reviewed in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Title IX grievance policy.
