Retaliation Prohibited

The college also prohibits retaliation against any employee or student who engages in either of the following “Legally Protected Actions”: (a) opposing unlawful discrimination by communicating to the college through word or action a belief that unlawful discrimination is taking place or has taken place or (b) participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or litigation under state and federal discrimination laws. Any adverse action taken against an individual because he or she has engaged in any Legally Protected Actions constitutes unlawful retaliation if the adverse action is reasonably likely to deter the person or others from pursuing their rights. Retaliation will be considered a separate act of discrimination under this policy.

Adverse actions do not include petty slights and trivial annoyances, such as stray negative comments in an otherwise positive evaluation, “snubbing” by a colleague or fellow student, or negative comments or evaluations that are justified by an employee’s or a student’s poor performance.

This policy also prohibits college employees or students from encouraging others to retaliate and protects both the person who has engaged in any Legally Protected Actions and individuals closely associated with that person, such as a spouse or close relative. Retaliation is prohibited under this policy even if the original discrimination complaint is without merit; however, an individual opposing discrimination by communicating an allegation of unlawful discrimination to the college must act in reasonable good faith in order to be protected against retaliation.
