Notice of Nondiscrimination
Applicants for admission and employment, students, parents, employees,
sources of referral of applicants for admission and employment, and
all unions or professional organizations holding collective bargaining
or professional agreements with Hesston College are hereby notified
that this institution does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national origin, sex, age, or handicap in admission or access to, or
treatment or employment in, its programs and activities. Any person
having inquiries concerning Hesston College’s compliance with the regulations
implementing Title VI, Title IX, or Section 504 is directed to contact
Wendell Sauder, Executive Vice President for Planning and Resources
at Hesston College, 620-327-8217, who has been designated by Hesston
College to coordinate the college’s efforts to comply with the regulations
implementing Title VI, Title IX, and Section 504. Any person may also
contact the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of
Education, regarding the college’s compliance with the regulations implementing
Title VI, Title IX, or Section 504.
Accessibility Notice
Although certain facilities are
not fully physically accessible to handicapped persons, Hesston College
will take such means as are necessary to ensure that no qualified handicapped
person is denied the benefits of, excluded from participation in, or
otherwise subject to discrimination because Hesston College facilities
are physically inaccessible to or unusable by handicapped persons. The
accessibility standard required by Federal law for “existing facilities”
is that Hesston College’s programs or activities, when viewed in their
entirety, must be readily accessible to handicapped persons. Hesston
College may meet this standard through such means as a reassignment
of classes or other services to accessible locations, redesign of equipment,
assignment of aids, alteration of existing facilities, and construction
of new accessible facilities. Hesston College is not required to make
structural changes in existing facilities where other methods are sufficient
to comply with the accessibility standard described above.
Because scheduling of classes and
arranging housing in accessible facilities may require reasonable advance
planning, handicapped students accepted for admission should identify
themselves within 90 days of the start of the semester of admission
and indicate the nature of accommodation that they need.
Grievance Procedures
Policies and procedures are established
in order to assist in the fair resolution of student and employee grievances.
Student procedures are outlined in the Hesston College Student Handbook
and employee procedures in the Hesston College Human Resources Manual.
