sex, color, religion, age, national origin, disability, marital status,
sexual orientation, or status as a disabled veteran or veteran of the
Vietnam era in the recruitment of students; the recruitment and employment

Where relevant, state and federal laws apply.
Students have the right to pursue their academic programs and to seek
services on campus without being subjected to illegal discrimination or
discrimination that is in violation of BCC policy. They should be free
of discrimination across campus, including, but not limited to, the following
areas: admissions, financial aid allocations, student employment, educational
programs, athletic programs, student activities, counseling and placement
services.
The designated coordinator for compliance with Title IV and VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, Title IX of Education Amendments
of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and
Section 402 of the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of
1974, as amended, is the Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Officer.
Students who believe that they are being subjected to illegal discrimination
or discrimination that is in violation of BCC policy may contact the Affirmative
Action Officer at 778-5243, or in Room N101 in the Student Center Athletic
Suite. Students should be aware that the current grievance procedure requires
that an on-campus complaint be filed within 45 class days after the alleged
discrimination has occurred. Off-campus agencies and the courts have varied
statutes of limitation, ranging from six months to three years. The on-campus
procedure is under review, and may be changed. For the most current information,
contact the Affirmative Action Officer.
