File a report
To report discrimination, harassment, sexual assault, domestic/dating violence, or stalking, regardless of where it occurred, you can complete the report on this page or contact Josh Vollendorf, Director of Compliance/Title IX, ADA and Clery Coordinator, at compliance@gtc.edu, 262-564-3062, Racine Campus, Lake Building, L101.
Confidential Reporting: Students can make confidential reports to any of the college’s Student Support Counselor (SSC) who are acting in their capacity as a counselor. Employees can make confidential reports to the college’s Employee Assistance Program. A confidential report means that your information is not shared with the college or Title IX Coordinator unless you choose to do so, to the extent allowed by law.
As a member of the Gateway Technical College community, Title IX protects you from discrimination based on sex throughout your educational journey. Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that states:
“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
This means while at Gateway Technical College, you are protected from all forms of sexual misconduct, whether you are a student, employee, contractor, guest or visitor. We are dedicated to providing an education and employment environment free from illegal harassment and discrimination.
Gateway’s Office for Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights provides support services, investigations and resolution options without regard to the legal status of the parties or witnesses and does not report immigration status to immigration authorities.
