Sexual Harassment Policy听

William M. Maguy School strictly prohibits and does not tolerate sexual harassment against听 students and covered persons (that is, employees, interns, visitors, guests, volunteers, applicants, or independent contractors) by co-workers, supervisors, students, staff, instructors, managers, or third parties with whom you come into contact during your learning experience.听听

As used in this policy, harassment is based on sex or conduct of a sexual nature and includes听 harassment based on sex; pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or related medical conditions;听 sexual orientation; gender; gender identity; or gender expression. Sexually harassing conduct听 need not be motivated by sexual desire. Sexual harassment is illegal and also against policy.听

Sexual harassment is generally categorized into two types: quid pro quo sexual harassment and hostile learning environment sexual harassment.听

1. a) Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment鈥擰uid pro quo sexual harassment or 鈥渢his for that,鈥� includes the following situations:听听

• Submission to the advance, request, or conduct that is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of your enrollment or educational experience..听听

听

• Submission to or rejection of the advance, request, or conduct that is used as a basis for educational decisions affecting the student.听

1. b) Hostile Learning Environment Sexual harassment means conduct of a sexual nature or on the听 basis of sex by any person in the educational setting that unreasonably interferes with a student鈥檚 academic performance and/or creates an intimidating, hostile, or otherwise offensive learning environment.听

Examples include听听

• Verbal: making or using sexual epithets; derogatory or demeaning statements or slurs;听 sexually related comments or jokes; sexually suggestive or obscene letters, invitations,听 notes, emails, voicemails, or gifts; unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors; comments about any body or dress; flirtation; teasing; conversations听 regarding sexual activities; sexually degrading words to describe an individual; or sex-,听 gender-, or sexual orientation-related comments, slurs, jokes, remarks, or epithets.听
• Physical: assault; inappropriate physical contact or impeding or blocking movements;听 unwelcome touching or assaulting others.听听
• Nonverbal or visual: obscene or vulgar gestures or making sexual gestures; displaying听 sexually suggestive, offensive, or demeaning posters, cartoons, objects, pictures, posters,听 or drawings or any such items; sending inappropriate adult-themed gifts; leering or making sexual gestures.听听
• In person or electronic: harassing someone through the use of a cell phone, e-mail, text messages, instant messages, mobile device applications, or social media or networking sites.听听
• Any sexual advances that are unwelcome, as well as reprisals or threats after a negative response to sexual advances.听听
• Conduct or comments consistently targeted at one gender, even if the content is not sexual.听听
• Request for sexual favors: unwanted sexual advances that condition an employment听 benefit upon an exchange of sexual favors.听听
• Retaliatory: making or threatening reprisals after a negative response to sexual advances; threatening retaliation or taking retaliatory action.听听

This list is illustrative only and not exhaustive. No form of sexual harassment or conduct that听 could reasonably be perceived as sexual harassment will be tolerated. Harassment is prohibited in the school and at school-related activities and events.听

All students are expected to assume responsibility for maintaining a learning environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Students are encouraged to promptly report conduct that they believe violates this policy so that we have听 an opportunity to address and resolve any concerns. Students are encouraged to report听 inappropriate conduct immediately and, whenever possible, to put the complaint or concern in writing. Students may file a complaint following the grievance procedure.听

听听听听听Student Grievance Procedure听

Students are encouraged to seek assistance at any time to address concerns that may arise听 during their educational experience at this institution. WMSE has a process in place to address complaints and suggests that students use the internal process first; however, it is not required. Students can file a complaint with the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education at any time.听听

WMSE internal process:听

When students have a concern, they should first inform the instructor, Employer Service听 Representative, Workforce & Recruitment Advocate, and/or the Assistant Director of Education.听 If the student is not satisfied or not willing to address the issue with the individual, he/she/they听 may bring this matter to the attention of the Chief Academic Officer at the Main Campus to ensure听 their concerns are addressed accordingly. In the event their complaint or grievance is not resolved听 to the student鈥檚 satisfaction at that level, the student may address a written and signed complaint听 to the 修车大队 Corporate Administration Office, using the following procedure.听听

1. File a complaint form, which can be obtained from your instructor or at Main Campus听 (559) 471-4550;听
2. Describe the complaint or grievance and听
3. Send the completed form to:听听

Attn: Quality and Compliance Director听

Randi Espinoza听

听听听听听听听听听1830 N. Dinuba Blvd.听听

Visalia, CA 93291听

Telephone Number: 559-733-5423听

Fax Number: 559-738-1137听

In completing the Complaint or Grievance Form, the student should describe the specific听 allegations, the desired outcome, and include evidence for consideration. Upon receipt of form,听 the student will be contacted within 10 business days. The Quality and Compliance Director will review the type of complaint and if it pertains to sexual harassment or discrimination, and will forward it to the appropriate department for filing. The final determination will be made within 45 business days from the initial filing date. Based on the nature of the complaint or grievance, the due process for resolution may be extended but shall not exceed 60 days. Good faith efforts will be made to resolve all grievance听 complaints. The student will be notified in writing about the final decision, which will contain an听 explanation of how and why the decision was made.听听

Please know that a student鈥檚 grant status may determine a different complaint process. If听 solutions from the WMSE and the Corporate Office are not satisfactory to the student, they may听 submit a grievance to the appropriate state, federal agencies listed in the following table.

A student鈥檚 progress听 is measured by student attendance and competency completions.听听

If you must be absent or tardy, you are required to notify your instructor within 15 minutes of听 the scheduled start time of class on the day of the absence or tardy. If you intend to leave early,听 you must also inform the instructor. If you are receiving a stipend for class attendance,听 absences will not be paid. Students with extenuating circumstances that anticipate being absent听 for more than five consecutive days can request a Leave of Absence (LOA). The LOA form can听 be obtained from your instructor and must be processed before you begin to leave, as听 applicable.听

Students must attend the minimum number of the scheduled training hours of at least 80% (85%听 for the Truck Driving program).听

Academic Programs听

Regular attendance is expected and recorded because it is vital to the timely completion of the听 course. These programs are open-entry, open-exit. Students are expected to be in class on a听 daily basis to get the most learning experience out of their time. Students must maintain at least听 70% attendance from the date of enrollment.听听

Leave of Absence Policy听

A leave of absence (LOA) is a temporary interruption in a student鈥檚 program of study due to听 circumstances that are beyond the control of the student. In these cases, the student may听 request a leave if he/she anticipates being absent for five consecutive days; there must be a听 reasonable expectation that the student will return from the leave of absence to continue his or听 her education. A leave of absence is limited to no more than 15 days. A leave of absence will extend the student鈥檚 completion date. Students may request a leave of absence due to health related circumstances. A written request for a leave of absence must be made to the Chief Academic Officer. You may听 request a LOA Form from your instructor. Students, please note that all leave of absence听 requests will be approved on a case by case basis. Completing a Leave of Absence Form does听 not guarantee approval of leave. You must ensure that your LOA is approved before you stop听 attending class. Failure to do so may result in termination from the program. Students that have听 taken a leave due to health related circumstances will need to provide clearance from a health听 professional prior to returning to class. If a student fails to return to school on their scheduled return date or does not extend their听 current leave of absence, they may be dismissed from the program.听听

Requests for a leave of absence for the sole purpose of returning to work for an extended听 period of time will be denied.听

Unsatisfactory Attendance听听

Absences are recorded and excessive absences, repeated tardiness, or repeated early leaves听 are considered an indication for the need of intensive counseling and follow-up. If this is the case,听 your instructor and/or counselor will contact you to establish short-term attendance goals. If you听 fail to show improvement after the implementation of your short-term attendance goals you may听 be placed on probation for up to two weeks or suspended for up to two days at one time.
