Danville Area Community College’s policy is to investigate all complaints made under this policy impartially, thoroughly, and promptly. To the fullest extent possible, Danville Area Community College will keep harassment complaints, records related to harassment complaints, and the terms of the resolution confidential. If any investigation confirms that a policy violation has occurred, Danville Area Community College will take appropriate corrective action to stop the harassment and ensure that the harassment does not recur. Such corrective action may include training of the harasser, monitoring of the harasser, and/or discipline of the harasser proportional to the offense, up to and including discharge.
