Non-Discrimination Policy

DSDT is committed to a policy of equal opportunity for all people and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, marital status, sex, disability, in some cases religion, height, weight, or veteran status in employment, educational programs and activities, and admissions. DSDT values and upholds the equal dignity of all members of its community and strives to balance the rights of the parties in the resolution process during what is often a difficult time for all those involved.

DSDT adheres to all federal, state and local civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination in employment and education. The college does not discriminate in its employment practices on the basis of sex. Sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, stalking and sexual exploitation are prohibited under Title IX and by college policy.

The law and DSDT’s policy prohibit discrimination and harassment of employees or discrimination and harassment between members of the college community: for example, between an employee and a supervisor, between two employees, or between an employee and an applicant or campus guest. Any member of the campus community who acts to deny, deprive or limit an employment opportunity of any member of the DSDT community on the basis of sex is in violation of this policy.

Any person may report sex harassment, discrimination or other forms of sexual misconduct, whether or not the person reporting is the person alleged to have experienced the conduct. Reports may be made by telephone or email directly to the Director of Administration. Reports can be made any time, including during non-business hours, by calling DSDT directly at 888-688-4234 or by emailing the Title IX coordinator, Kathryn Kothe, at katie@dsdt.edu.
