Title VI

SUNY Broome Community College is committed to maintaining an educational and employment environment free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation prohibited by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. National origin discrimination may include discrimination associated with a person’s actual or perceived ancestry, ethnicity, birthplace, culture, or linguistic characteristics associated with a national origin group.

This reporting process provides members of the SUNY Broome community with a clear way to report concerns that may implicate Title VI and ensures that reports are promptly directed to the appropriate College official.

Options for Discrimination Complaints:

Anyone may seek advice, information, or assistance in dealing with matters related to discrimination without having to file a formal complaint. Persons who feel they are being subjected to discrimination, or who are uncertain as to whether what they are experiencing is discrimination, are encouraged to talk to the Title VI Coordinators, to another college representative, such as a counselor, or someone who works in an administrative or supervisory capacity at the college, to the Human Resources Officer, a director, a department chair, a dean, or a supervisor.

  • A college representative who receives an informal complaint should seek the assistance of the Title VI Coordinators in responding to an informal complaint.

Any party who chooses to file a formal complaint alleging unlawful discrimination or discrimination in violation of SUNY Broome non-discrimination commitment shall file the complaint with the Title VI Coordinators. Both Formal and Informal complaints can be submitted via the form below.

  • The Title VI Coordinators shall provide assistance to any complainant needing help to prepare his/her complaint. The Title VI Coordinators shall also inform the complainant of those additional internal and external avenues through which a complaint may be filed, including the applicable time limits for filing with each agency.
