Gogebic Community College is committed to providing a safe and non-discriminatory learning, living, and working environments for all members of the campus community.

In compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, GCC does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of sex in any of its educational programs or activities that it operates, including against any employee, applicant for employment, student, or applicant for admission. Members of the GCC community have the right to be free from all forms of sexual harassment and misconduct, and all members of the GCC community are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the College’s Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy.

To ensure compliance with Title IX and other federal and state civil rights laws, the College has designated a Title IX Coordinator to monitor compliance with Title IX and ensure that reports of sexual or gender-based harassment or misconduct are appropriately investigated and addressed by the College. Any student, faculty, or staff member who has questions or concerns about their rights under Title IX or who believes that they have been the victim of sexual or gender-based harassment or misconduct, is encouraged to contact the College’s Title IX Coordinator.

Any person may report sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, via email, phone, or mail at any time or in person during normal business hours using the contact information of the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Coordinators listed below. Anonymous reports can also be submitted electronically at https://reports.ethicaladvocate.com/.
