Citrus College does not tolerate harassment on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, age, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation of any person, or the perception that a person has one or more of these characteristics is illegal and violates district policy.
Citrus College encourages any student who believes he or she has been subjected to such harassment to report the harassment, including complaints regarding gender equity, to Brenda Fink, manager of human resources and staff diversity/Title IX coordinator, at
bfink@citruscollege.edu or (626) 914-8830. All college employees are obligated to report alleged, suspected or known harassment to the manager of human resources and staff diversity/Title IX coordinator. The college will conduct a prompt investigation of any reports of harassment.
Any person, who has a disability and believes the district failed to provide accommodations, should contact the disabled students programs and services (DSPS) coordinator at (626) 914-8675.
SB 1491 – Equity in Higher Education Act
In alignment with Senate Bill 1491, also known as the Postsecondary Education: Equity in Higher Education Act, Citrus College reaffirms its commitment to supporting LGBTQIA+ students, faculty, and staff. SB 1491 expands the legal definition of sexual orientation to include asexuality and pansexuality and mandates stronger protections against harassment and bullying. As required by the law, Citrus College has designated Dr. Ty Thomas, director of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility+, as the confidential campus contact for LGBTQIA+ support. The director of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility+ is not a mandatory Title IX reporter, ensuring a safe and private resource for those seeking guidance. For additional support, visit our
Pride Center web page or contact Dr. Ty Thomas at
tthomas@citruscollege.edu.
