As a student at an institution which receives federal loan monies, you have some specific rights in addition to the ones you always have as a citizen or resident. Specifically, you have the right to be free from discrimination by the College based on race, color, national origin, sex, age, and disability. Discrimination in this context can mean a general environment that is hostile toward the group to which you belong or it can mean a specific treatment of you that is different from normal policy and that cannot be proved necessary for safety or for academic integrity. Using harassment as an example, a student may experience low-level harassment from multiple staff members or acute harassment from one person. In either case the student has a legitimate civil rights complaint. In all cases, you have the right to be free from retaliation by the College if you file a complaint.
