Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action
Equal Opportunity

No person shall be discriminated against in the terms and conditions of employment, personnel practices, or access to and participation in, programs, services, and activities with regard to race, sex, color, creed, religion, age, national origin, disability, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, or membership or activity in a local commission as defined by law. Harassment of an individual or group based on race, sex, color, creed, religion, age, national origin, disability, marital status, status about public assistance, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or familial status is prohibited.

Bias Incident Reporting
Single or multiple acts toward an individual, group, or their property that are so severe or pervasive, and are objectively offensive so as to create an unreasonably intimidating, hostile, or offensive work, learning, or program environment, and that one could reasonably conclude are based upon actual or perceived age, race, color, creed, religion, gender identity or expression, ethnicity, national origin, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, political affiliation, marital status, spirituality, cultural, socio-economic status, or any combination of these or other related factors. Bias and hate incidents include, but are not limited to the following, when they rise to the level of the standard set forth above: slurs, degrading language, epithets, graffiti, vandalism, intimidation, symbols, and harassment that are directed toward or affect the targeted individual or team. Incidents of bias and hate contribute to a hostile campus environment and can occur even if the act itself is unintentional or delivered as a joke, prank, or having humorous intent.
A student who has either witnessed or been the target of a bias incident, should fill out the Bias Incident Reporting Form to bring the incident to the attention of the Bias Incident Response Team.
Affirmative Action
Minnesota State College Southeast is committed to and supports aggressive affirmative action steps and programs intended to remedy the historical under-representation of persons of color, women, and persons with disabilities in the workforce.
