Equal Opportunity, Anti-Discrimination Policies

TVCC is an equal opportunity entity. TVCC, its employees and agents shall not discriminate or harass others in its employment, admissions, services, benefits, education and athletic practices or activities on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, use of native language, color, sex, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, age if the individual 18 or older, physical or mental disability, veteran status (disabled or Vietnam Era), height to weight ratio, organization or political affiliations. The prohibition against harassment or discrimination based on the use of native language does not require the College to offer classes in any language other than English.

Harassment and discriminatory behavior is prohibited and will not be tolerated within the Treasure Valley Community College District. Any person who believes he or she has been discriminated against or harassed by a TVCC employee, representative, agent or student should file a complaint with the Dean of Student Services. In circumstances involving sexual harassment the Affirmative Action Officer should also be contacted. District includes TVCC facilities, premises and non-TVCC premises if the student is at any TVCC sponsored, TVCC approved or TVCC related activity or function, such as field trips or athletic events. There shall be no retaliation by TVCC or the accused of any person who, in good faith, reports harassment.

Students with Disabilities

TVCC promotes equal educational opportunities for students with disabilities through its commitment to a barrier-free campus. TVCC's Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance officer can be reached at 541-881-5812. We encourage students and staff to contact the Disability Services in the Student Services Center 541-881-5815 with questions regarding accommodation for students with disabilities. The college supports this commitment by providing in-class services, resource/referral information, adaptive equipment, consultation with student and instructors, and advocating for the removal of attitudinal and architectural barriers.

TVCC also has adaptive technology for computers and videos in the Library and Learning Center. These services are available to permanently and temporarily disabled students in all credit and non-credit programs. The TVCC campus is an accessible facility. Upon request, classes held at other locations will be relocated to barrier-free facilities for physically challenged students.
