There are high expectations regarding standards of behavior by the staff and students of VIMTC. Students and staff seek to follow the example that our Lord has given us in Christian living. However, VIMTC is obliged to have policies and procedures in place to deal with the issue of racial discrimination.
It is the goal of VIMTC to maintain an environment that is absolutely free from any form of harassment, because of race, color, sex, age, creed, national origin, or handicap/disabled veteran.
Discrimination on the basis of race is unacceptable at VIMTC. Such behavior threatens to destroy the environment of tolerance and mutual respect in which all members of the community – students, faculty, staff, and administrators strive to create an environment free of racial harassment. Racial harassment is contrary to the school’s policy of equal opportunity and will not be tolerated in the school’s community.
Racial harassment is defined as conduct, when engaged in by one in an official position, that:
-
Discriminates on the basis of race;
- in terms, conditions, working environment, and privileges of employment;
- in enrollment, course assignment, grade, or opportunity for participation in any school benefit, service, or offering.
Any persons who considers themselves to have been the object of racial harassment are encouraged to express freely responsibility, and in an orderly way their opinions and feelings to the appropriate Dean. All complaints will be investigated in a confidential manner to preserve the reputation and integrity of the involved individuals.
