It’s our goal to create a supportive climate that encourages reporting incidents of potential Title IX Sexual Harassment.
Students and employees who have been or are being subjected to sexual harassment, or who are aware of another who has been or is being subjected to sexual harassment, should notify the college Interim Title IX coordinator and EEO officer immediately so appropriate action can be taken.
Reports may be made in person, by telephone, in writing, by email, online or anonymously. If you have questions or concerns, contact the Interim Title IX coordinator and EEO officer at 410-777-1359 or eeoandtix@aacc.edu. Please note that making a report alone does not constitute filing a formal complaint with AACC.
AACC prohibits discrimination on the basis of any protected characteristic under applicable local, state and federal law.
A report provides notice to the college of an allegation or concern about discrimination or retaliation and provides an opportunity for the impacted student or employee to receive information, resources, and supportive measures. Please note that making a report alone does not constitute filing a formal complaint with AACC.
The Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) is an interdisciplinary group of faculty, staff and administrators who meet regularly to review, and when necessary, respond to student disruptive behavior and mental health issues that may pose an immediate disruption to normal College function. The BIT is based on the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management (NCHERM) model which addresses concerns about students in distress and suggests options for appropriate action by the College.
