Any student, employee or applicant who believes they have experienced discrimination or harassment, including workplace or classroom harassment, discrimination in hiring or admission practices, or other acts of discrimination or harassment, can file a complaint through the FSCJ's Civil Rights Compliance Office or through the Title IX Office.
Anyone who believes they have been subject to discrimination or harassment can contact the Civil Rights Compliance Office or the Title IX Office (contact information below). The College prefers to resolve any complaint in a timely manner, so early notification is critical. You may file an internal complaint by submitting the Civil Rights Compliance Intake Form to the Civil Rights Compliance Office. Although you are encouraged to attempt to resolve your concern with College personnel, you have the right to file your complaint with U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights.
We strive to provide a healthy, safe and secure environment for all members of the College community. .
