Klamath Community College utilizes a one policy, one process approach for reporting incidents or complaints. This means the same form and process is available for students, employees and community members to initiate an investigation and response into an incident or issue.
Incidents of discrimination, harassment or assault should be reported as soon as possible via the link/form in the resource box to the right, or by contacting Title IX via email at:
Once submitted, the information will be reviewed by the executive director of Human Resources and general counsel in order to determine the appropriate next steps, which may include referral of the complaint to another office such as Human Resources or an academic dean as appropriate.
For more minor difficulties, KCC encourages individuals to resolve conflicts or concerns at the lowest, most direct level, as this is good practice for work and life. We encourage the use of open and honest communication, following the Student Code of Conduct, to promote a safe learning environment.
Individuals who believe they have experienced discrimination, harassment, or retaliation may report their concerns directly through the College's grievance process. A complaint may be submitted without first discussing the matter with the individual involved or seeking informal resolution. The College will provide a prompt and equitable review of all reports and complaints in accordance with its applicable grievance procedures.
Individuals may choose to seek assistance from a supervisor, faculty member, advisor, counselor, administrator, or other College official in identifying available options and resources. Participation in any informal resolution process is voluntary and will not prevent an individual from filing a formal complaint or accessing the College's grievance procedures.
If the matter still cannot be resolved and you wish to submit a formal complaint, you may do so with the campus incident/complaint reporting form in the resource box above.
In the event that direct resolution and/or communication is not an option, or poses an immediate threat, complete a campus incident/complaint reporting form. The form can be submitted online, or turned in to the receptionist in the Founders Hall lobby.
