The College values safety, diversity, education, and equity and is firmly committed to maintaining a campus environment free from Discrimination, Harassment, and related misconduct. The College’s protection of these statuses is grounded in federal law. Federal law also governs the College’s response to Sexual Assault, Sexual Violence, Interpersonal Violence (including domestic and dating violence), and Stalking.  Such acts violate the essential dignity of our community member(s) and are contrary to our institutional values.

In accordance with the Student Right-to-Know, the Campus Security Act of 1990 and amended by the Clery Act, the Violence Against Women Act (1994; Renewed 2013; Reauthorized in 2021), and the SaVE Act of 2014, Sandhills Community College exhibits zero tolerance toward violence on campus, including, but not limited to, sexual assault, sexual violence, interpersonal violence, stalking, aggravated assault, physical confrontations of any kind, verbal threats of intent to cause harm, harassment designed to intimidate another, hate crimes, robbery, burglary, and property crimes such as destruction, theft, and sabotage. No distinction will be made between violence caused by students, employees or that precipitated by visitors to campus.
