Civil Rights Handbook
(including the College's Civil Rights Policy, Civil Rights Guide, Civil Rights Grievance Process, and Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Misconduct, Hazing, and Stalking)
CMC's Civil Rights Policy is available online; individuals who believe they have experienced discrimination, harassment, sexual misconduct, stalking, and/or hazing should review the grievance procedures in the handbook. You are also encouraged to speak to the College’s Chief Civil Rights Officer, Nyree Gray. You can also contact her at (909) 607-0347 or nyree.gray@cmc.edu.
In circumstances in which the complaint refers to a member of the CMC faculty, please see Procedures for Student and Faculty Grievances Against Faculty Members and for Faculty Grievances Against Academic Administrators.
The Claremont Colleges are committed to working together when there is an incident involving individuals from more than one institution. If you have been subject to discrimination, harassment, and/or sexual misconduct by a student, faculty member, or staff member from another of the colleges and you decide to make a complaint, the complaint should be made to the home institution of the alleged perpetrator. Please speak with the Title IX Coordinator or one of the deans in the CMC Dean of Students office who will assist you with pursuing resolution at the home institution of the alleged perpetrator.
