The school is adamantly opposed to inappropriate workplace behavior, including unlawful harassment, retaliation, and it will take effective efforts to stop such behaviors. Since the school can only take action to stop such behavior if it is aware of the behavior, it is crucial that you seek assistance.
Please seek assistance if you feel that you have been personally harassed, discriminated against, or have been retaliated against by any fellow student or any WGTC faculty or staff member, regardless of his or her level of authority at the school.
