Non-discrimination Statement

Individuals affiliated with the Colorado Community College System Office shall  not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender, race, color, age, creed, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, familial status, veteran or military status, pregnancy status, marital status, religion, genetic information, gender identity, sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity, or any other protected class or category under applicable local, state or federal law, (also known as “civil rights laws”), in connection with  employment practices.  

The System Office prohibits any acts of retaliation. Retaliation is defined as any adverse employment or educational action taken against a person because of the person’s participation, or perceived participation, in a complaint or investigation of discrimination and/or harassment. Retaliation also includes any act to intimidate, threaten, coerce, or discriminate against any individual for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege provided by applicable civil rights laws, policies, and procedures.  

For more information about the System Office’s procedures and definitions related to discrimination and harassment complaints see:  

Any person can make a report, at any time, by contacting the EO Coordinator. System Office employees, unless deemed a confidential resource by law, have an ethical obligation to promptly report any incidents they are aware of concerning civil rights violations. Reports should be made within 24 hours, unless there is reasonable justification for a delay. Employees unsure of the scope of this requirement may direct their questions to the EO Coordinator. Failure to report will be considered a violation of BP 3-70, Ethics, and may result in discipline, up to and including termination. All other individuals affiliated with CCCS are strongly encouraged to report civil rights violations.
