Care, Support and Conduct Resources

Email your professor to request a time to meet to speak with the professor directly about the issue. The professor may not be aware that you have a concern and oftentimes the student and professor are able to resolve the issue. Make sure to prepare and take any documents, screenshots, etc. you may want to show to your professor with you to the meeting.

If you have already spoken to your professor–or you don’t feel like you can speak to them about this issue–the next step is to complete the Concern, Complaint, or Grievance Form that is sent directly to the area Dean. You may also choose to contact the Campus Grievance Officer Office to receive guidance.

Members of the campus community can participate in making the campus a safe place to learn, work and study by identifying and reporting any campus incidents of bias, hate crimes, and discrimination.

Who Should Report

If you believe you have witnessed, or that you have been a target of discrimination, or a hate- or bias-motivated incident, on campus you can initiate a report through the form below.

Why Report

Reporting allows us to best assist those in need, track patterns of bias, and create educational interventions to help improve our campus community. We know that in order to bring about change, we must expand our awareness around the issues our students are facing on campus.

What to Report

Hate- or bias-motivated incident: An act that is not a violation of criminal law, but that is motivated by bigotry or hate based on the victim's actual or perceived race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. These incidents could include violations of District Policy or CRC Student Standards of Conduct.

How to Report

Email the Equity Officer with as much detail about the incident as you can remember, any information you have about the person/people involved, what your hope for resolution would be, and contact information if you would like a response (you can request to remain anonymous):

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects speech and expressive conduct from censorship by the government based upon its content. There are very limited exceptions to this protection. Cosumnes River College is a public institution and may not censor speech based on its content no matter how much it may go against the spirit of our Hawk community.

Most social media platforms provide a way to report content you think violates their use agreements. If you think a post is a violation, please report them directly through the social media platform.

If you see a direct threat of violence or harm to the campus community, please make a report to the Los Rios Police Department at (916) 558-2221.

It is a priority of Cosumnes River College to prevent and respond to all forms of harassment, including bullying, psychological harassment, racial harassment, religious harassment, stalking, mobbing, hazing, and backlash.

The Types of Harassment page offers an overview of the different types of harassment and how you can report this behavior.

The Equity and Diversity page offers information on unlawful discrimination.
