is a very serious issue, and will not tolerate acts of sexual assault on campus.
Sexual assault includes, but is not limited to rape, sodomy, oral copulation,
penetration with a foreign object, sexual battery or threat of sexual assault.
The college will investigate all allegations of sexual assault and take appropriate
disciplinary, criminal or other legal action in cooperation with the victim
of the sexual assault. The college will also make provisions to assist the
victim in securing support services including medical aid, counseling services,
legal assistance, and victim compensation through our strategic partners. The
identity of victims of sexual assault can be made confidential pursuant to
California Penal Code section 293.
If you become a victim of a sexual assault on or off campus do the following:
- Get to a safe place
- Contact the Department of Campus Safety, police department, medical aid,
or college staff
- Contact someone you can trust to support you
- Make every effort to preserve any physical evidence of the assault
- Do not wash, shower, bathe, douche, or change, destroy, or discard your
clothing
