Ensuring Appropriate Adjudication for Crimes Violating Civil Rights
Navarro College ensures the protection of civil rights through preventative measures, educational programming, and prompt responsiveness to violations thereof. Students who feel that their rights or access to educational programming and activities may have been violated should report concerns promptly. Furthermore, reports concerning suspected harassment or discrimination must be investigated and resolved appropriately. With this in mind, students who are affected by suspected incidents may be notified in order to allow those individuals the right to participate in the investigatory and adjudication processes under the appropriate processes, typically the Student Code of Conduct or the personnel disciplinary process. While affected students may choose whether to participate in either of the investigatory, adjudication, and/or appeal processes when such incidents are reported, certain processes (e.g., the Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy) may entail more detailed requirements with this regard. In addition to following these processes, a student may choose to pursue a grievance as referenced and applicable under the Student Discrimination Grievance Procedure.
