Students, staff, and faculty at OTECH have the right to live, learn, and work in an environment that is free from all forms of sexual misconduct (including sexual assault), domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.
OTECH’s Non-Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Violence and Related Conduct, and Student Code of Conduct policies prohibit such conduct.
Reporting
OTECH encourages the reporting of sexual misconduct, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Reporting is the only way the college can provide remedial assistance, institute protection procedures for the reporter and others, and take whatever actions are necessary to respond to the report. Offenses such as sexual intercourse without consent, sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, and stalking are considered criminal violations of the law. OTECH encourages reporting these to the police as soon as possible, but if a student chooses not to report immediately, a report can be made later. Students have several options for reporting and are encouraged to use support services regardless of whether they choose to report. The following options are available to all students, faculty, and staff.
In cases where there is a violation of college policies, the perpetrator may be subject to disciplinary sanctions through Student Services if the perpetrator is a student, or Human Resources if the perpetrator is an employee.
College Response
No matter where on campus a student, faculty, or staff member comes forward to report sexual misconduct, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking, the office or department receiving the report should consult with the Title IX coordinator.
The college can implement interim measures to prevent serious and immediate harm to the complainant and others; prevent retaliation against the complainant, the alleged perpetrator and/or witnesses; end discriminatory or harassing behavior and prevent its recurrence; and provide appropriate training on issues related to discrimination, sexual misconduct, domestic/dating violence, or stalking.
College policy 520.8 outlines interim measures that may be taken, which may include:
