AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT:
Riverside Community College District through its three colleges-Moreno Valley College, Norco College, and Riverside City College, supported by the District Office-are committed to developing and maintaining safe, inclusive, accessible, and supportive environments for all members of our community to learn and work.

The District depends on members of our community to identify and report issues of concern. We ask all members of our community to make an individual commitment to helping to keep the District a safe and ethical institution. Making reports also assists the District to protect the rights of all parties, provide appropriate support services, resources and identification of available complaint resolution options for students and employees.
If you file a complaint, be assured that you are protected against retaliation. If
you see something, say something, and do something about it-report any concerning
behavior or activity by contacting a College or District administrator or a member

Report Unlawful Harassment, Discrimination or Retaliation Based on Protected Status

age, ancestry, color, disability (physical or mental), ethnic group identification, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, immigration status, marital status, medical condition, military/veteran status, national origin, race, religion, sex/gender, sexual orientation.
See something, say something, and do something is not just slogan.

Both state and federal anti-discrimination laws as well as District policies and procedures
prohibit retaliation against individuals who report or oppose discrimination or harassment,

administrative investigation into complaints of this nature.
