About Just Ask

Discrimination is illegal and in direct conflict with the mission of the College. It exposes the College and the individuals involved to liability under the law. Accordingly, the College prohibits any physical, written, or spoken conduct that violates the prohibitions on harassment set forth above.
This policy refers to all forms of sex discrimination committed by employees, students, or third parties that interfere with 果冻传媒 academics, athletics, or education, including but not limited to: sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sexual violence as well as domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.
