Code of Conduct Code of Conduct 
Standards of Student Conduct 

In joining the academic community, the student enjoys the right and 
shares the responsibility in exercising the freedom to learn. Like other 
members of the academic community, the students are expected to 
conduct themselves in accordance with standards of the college that are 
designed to perpetuate its educational purposes. Students shall respect 
and obey civil and criminal law, and shall be subject to legal penalties 
for violation of laws of the city, county, state, and nation. A charge of 
misconduct may be imposed upon a student for violating provisions of 
college regulations and the State Education and Administrative Codes. 
Where a student is subject to a charge of misconduct, such charge shall 
be processed in accordance with the following policies and procedures 
which will be applied in a fair and equitable manner. 

Disciplinary action may be imposed upon a student by an instructor, an 
administrator, or the Governing Board for proven misconduct or actual 
violation of specified college rules and regulations. Instructors and 
administrators may place students on probation or temporary exclusion 
with respect to actions in a classroom, on campus, or at a college-
sponsored activity within the procedures specified in this document. The 
Vice President of Student Development shall have the power to impose 
suspension and to recommend expulsion. 

A charge of misconduct, harassment, violation of the Student Code of 
Conduct, allegation of academic dishonesty and/or other violation may 
be brought against a member of the campus community. Any charges 
must be submitted and signed; forms outlining required information 
are available from the Welcome Center and Vice President of Student 
Development. 

Due Process – a fair and balanced review of the facts shall include the 
right to appeal 

The Vice President of Student Development shall receive a signed, 

written statement and confer with the individual charged to advise 

them of the charge, possible sanctions, and the process including 

their rights. A review of the facts will result in a decision by the Vice 

President of Student Development as to any disciplinary actions 

that may be imposed. The student has the right to file a grievance, 

disagreeing with the decision. 

Disciplinary Action – violations of the code of conduct have 
consequences 

The District has established a range of penalties for violations of 

the Student Code of Conduct that range from verbal and written 

warnings, to formal reprimands, removal from class, and 


1815.indd 149 7/24/17 12:20 PM 


Code of Conduct Code of Conduct 
short-term suspensions up to expulsion from all colleges in the 
district when the presence of a student causes a continuing danger 
to the physical safety of the student or others. Disciplinary actions 
will focus on corrective measures and will follow due process. 

Right to Grieve – a student can appeal a decision 

Any student has the right to appeal a decision by filing a grievance 
if the student reasonably believes a college decision or action has 
adversely affected their status, rights, or privileges as a student. 
This wrong must involve an unjust action or denial of student rights 
as defined by the College, VCCCD, or legal judgment. A grievance 
exists only when such an error or offense has some demonstrably 
correctable result. 

Students are subject to charges of misconduct for acts on college-
owned or controlled property or at a college sponsored activity included, 
but not limited to: 

1. Causing, attempting to cause, or threatening to cause physical injury 
to another person or to one’s self. 
2. Possession, sale or otherwise furnishing a weapon, including but 
not limited to, any actual or facsimile of a firearm, knife, explosive 
or other dangerous object, or any item used to threaten bodily 
harm without written permission from a district employee, with 
concurrence of the College President or designee. 
3. Use, possession, distribution, or offer to sell alcoholic beverages, 
narcotics, hallucinogenic drugs, marijuana, other controlled 
substances or dangerous drugs while on campus or while 
participating in any college-sponsored event. 
4. Presence on campus while under the influence of alcoholic 
beverages, narcotics, hallucinogenic drugs, marijuana, other 
controlled substances or dangerous drugs except as expressly 
permitted by law. (Use or possession of medical marijuana is not 
allowed on any college property.) 
5. Committing or attempting to commit robbery or extortion. 
6. Causing or attempting to cause damage to District property or to 
private property on campus. 
7. Stealing or attempting to steal District property or private property 
on campus, or knowingly receiving stolen District property or private 
property on campus.

Code of Conduct Code of Conduct 
Sexual Misconduct and Title IX 

Members of the Oxnard College OC community, guests, and visitors 
have the right to be free from sexual misconduct and any other form of 
sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination and violence. 

OC does not tolerate sexual misconduct, which includes, but not limited 
to: 

• Sexual harassment (in person, by text, or online) 
• Domestic violence 
• Dating violence 
• Sexual assault 
• Sexual stalking 
• Gender based hate crimes 
When an allegation of misconduct is brought to an appropriate 
employee’s attention and a Respondent is found to have violated any 
sexual misconduct policies, appropriate sanctions will be used to 
reasonably ensure that such actions are never repeated. 

Oxnard College has extensive services for victims of domestic violence, 
sexual assault, and stalking. Please visit the Student Health Center or the 
Vice President of Student Development for confidential services. Also, 
our campus police provide an array of resources that are respectful and 
confidential. Should you have questions concerning behaviors of sexual 
misconduct or reporting option, please utilize this information to help 
inform you, or a friend, of the choices that need to be made regarding 
behaviors of sexual misconduct. 

Sexual Misconduct - What is it? 

If you have questions about Sexual Misconduct or would like to 
speak with someone confidentially, please contact our Title IX 
Coordinators, Dr. Oscar Cobian ocobian@vcccd.edu or Dr. Deanna 
McFadden dmcfadden@vcccd.edu. 

Definition of Sexual Misconduct - Comprises a broad range of 
unwelcome behaviors focused on sex and/or gender that may or may 
not be sexual in nature. 

• Any intercourse or other intentional sexual touching or activity without 
the other person’s consent is sexual assault, and is a form of sexual 
misconduct under this policy. 
• Sexual misconduct encompasses sexual harassment, sexual assault, 
sexual exploitation, or gender based harassment, which is a form 
of harassment based on gender identity, gender expression, or 
nonconformity with gender stereotypes. 
1815.indd 152 7/24/17 12:20 PM 


Code of Conduct Code of Conduct 
• Sexual misconduct may also encompass acts of a sexual nature, 
including acts of sexual stalking, domestic violence, and dating 
violence, intimidation, or for retaliation following an incident where 
alleged sexual misconduct or has occurred. 
• Sexual misconduct can occur between strangers or acquaintances, or 
people who know each other well, including between people involved 
in an intimate or sexual relationship, can be committed by anyone 
regardless of gender identity, and can occur between people of the 
same or different sex or gender. 
Other Definitions: 
Non-Consensual Sexual Contact - Non-consensual sexual contact is 
any intentional sexual touching, however slight, with any object, by a 
man or a woman upon a man or a woman that is without consent and/ 
or by force. The determination of whether an environment is “hostile” 
must be based on all of the circumstances. These circumstances could 
include: 

• the frequency of the conduct; 
• the nature and severity of the conduct; 
• whether the conduct was physically threatening; 
• whether the conduct was humiliating; 
• the effect of the conduct on the alleged victim’s mental or emotional 
state; 
• whether the conduct was directed at more than one person; 
• whether the conduct arose in the context of other discriminatory 
conduct; 
• whether the conduct unreasonably interfered with the alleged victim’s 
educational or work performance; 
• whether the statement is a mere utterance of an epithet which 
engenders offense in an employee or student, or offends by mere 
discourtesy or rudeness; 
• whether the speech or conduct deserves the protections of academic 
freedom or the 1st Amendment. 
Sexual Contact Includes - Intentional contact with the breasts, buttock, 
groin, or genitals, or touching another with any of these body parts, or 
making another touch you or themselves with or on any of these body 
parts; any intentional bodily contact in a sexual manner, though not 
involving contact with/of/by breasts, buttocks, groin, genitals, mouth or 
other orifice. 


1815.indd 153 7/24/17 12:20 PM 


Code of Conduct Code of Conduct 
Non-Consensual Sexual Intercourse - Non-Consensual Sexual 
Intercourse is any sexual intercourse however slight, with any object, 
by a man or woman upon a man or a woman that is without consent 
and/or by force. Intercourse includes: vaginal penetration by a penis, 
object, tongue or finger, anal penetration by a penis, object, tongue, or 
finger, and oral copulation (mouth to genital contact or genital to mouth 
contact), no matter how slight the penetration or contact. 

Sexual Exploitation - Sexual exploitation occurs when a student takes 
non-consensual or abusive sexual advantage of another for his/her own 
advantage or benefit, or to benefit or advantage anyone other than the 
one being exploited, and that behavior does not otherwise constitute one 
of other sexual misconduct offenses. Examples of sexual exploitation 
include, but are not limited to: 

• invasion of sexual privacy; 
• prostituting another student; 
• non-consensual video or audio-taping of sexual activity; 
• going beyond the boundaries of consent (such as letting your friends 
hide in the closet to watch you having consensual sex); 
• engaging in voyeurism; 
• knowingly transmitting an STI or HIV to another student; 
• exposing one’s genitals in non-consensual circumstances; inducing 
another to expose their genitals; 
• sexually-based stalking and/or bullying may also be forms of sexual 
exploitation. 
Consent - Consent is clear, knowing and voluntary. Consent is active, 
not passive. Silence, in and of itself, cannot be interpreted as consent. 
Consent can be given by words or actions, as long as those words 
or actions create mutually understandable clear permission regarding 
willingness to engage in (and the conditions of) sexual activity. 

• Consent to any one form of sexual activity cannot automatically imply 
consent to any other forms of sexual activity. 
• Previous relationships or prior consent cannot imply consent to future 
sexual acts. 
• In 2016, the State of California recently a law (Senate Bill 967), known 
as the Yes Means Yes law, requiring both parties who are engaging in 
sexual activity to give an on-going consent. 
1815.indd 154 7/24/17 12:20 PM 


Code of Conduct Code of Conduct 
Force - Force is the use of physical violence and/or imposing on 
someone physically to gain sexual access. Force also includes threats, 
intimidation (implied threats) and coercion that overcome resistance or 
produce consent (“Have sex with me or I’ll hit you. Okay, don’t hit me. I’ll 
do what you want.”) 

Coercion - Coercion is unreasonable pressure for sexual activity. 
Coercive behavior differs from seductive behavior based on the type of 
pressure someone uses to get consent from another. When someone 
makes clear to you that they do not want sex, that they want to stop, 
or that they do not want to go past a certain point of sexual interaction, 
continued pressure beyond that point can be coercive. 

• Cases will be investigated regardless of whether the accuser resisted 
the sexual advance or request, but resistance is a clear demonstration 
of non-consent. The presence of force is not demonstrated by the 
absence of resistance. Sexual activity that is forced is by definition 
non-consensual, but non-consensual sexual activity is not by definition 
forced. 
• In order to give effective consent, one must be of legal age (18 years or 
older). 
• Sexual activity with someone who one should know to be -- or 
based on the circumstances should reasonably have known to be 
-- mentally or physically incapacitated (by alcohol or other drug use, 
unconsciousness or blackout), constitutes a violation. 
Incapacitation - Incapacitation is a state where someone cannot make 
rational, reasonable decisions because they lack the capacity to give 
knowing consent (e.g., to understand the “who, what, when, where, why 
or how” of their sexual interaction). 

I think I was assaulted. What do I do? 

1. GO TO A SAFE PLACE. 
2. FIND A LOVED ONE: Call a friend or family member to be with you. 
TALK TO SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP: It is advisable to report a sexual 
assault, even an unsuccessful attempt. The information you provide 
may prevent another person from being assaulted. When you report a 
sexual assault, any information you can remember about the attack will 
be helpful - the assaulter’s physical characteristics, voice, clothes, car or 
even an unusual smell. 

If you are not ready to report the incident officially, but wish to 
confidentially share what happened to you with someone who can help, 
contact the Oxnard College Student Health Center and ask to speak to 
a licensed counselor. Explain you need to have a confidential discussion 
with someone. They will help connect you to someone who can help.

3. CALL POLICE: If you have been sexually assaulted, you should call 
the police as soon as possible; do not bathe or change your clothes. 
Semen, hair and material under fingernails or on your clothing may be 
useful in identifying and prosecuting the assaulter. If the assault occurred 
on campus, call Campus Police at (805) 678-5805. If the assault 
occurred off campus, call 911. 
4. HELP YOURSELF: It is very helpful to contact a local rape crisis 
center (805.983.6014), where qualified staff members may assist you in 
dealing with your trauma. If you are unable to make the contact yourself, 
have a friend, family member or police make the call. 
DON’T BLAME YOURSELF: Finally, it is important to remember that 
many individuals will mistakenly blame themselves for the assault. 
However, being sexually assaulted is not a crime - the crime has been 
committed by the person who assaulted you. 

Title IX 

Sexual harassment, sexual violence and other gender-based harassment 
occurring in the college setting implicates a federal law called Title 
IX of the Higher Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits 
discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities and 
which triggers certain responsibilities on the part of the college. Oxnard 
College has a Title IX Coordinator who can help explain the college’s 
responsibilities in these cases. The Title IX coordinator’s Office is located 
in the Student Service Building. Oxnard College’s Title IX Coordinator is 
Dr. Oscar Cobian, (805) 678-5937 or ocobian@vcccd.edu. 

OC is committed to maintaining a positive learning, working and living 
environment. The college will not tolerate acts of sexual harassment 
or sexual violence or related retaliation against or by any employee or 
student. When sexual harassment or sexual violence has occurred and 
is brought to the attention of a responsible administrator, steps will be 
taken to end the harassment or violence, prevent its re-occurrence, and 
address its effects. 

Reporting Options 

Within the college’s processes, the person making the allegations is 
referred to as the Reporting Party or Complainant. The person who the 
allegations have been made against is referred to as the Respondent. 
A complainant who wishes to report sexual harassment, sexual violence 
or other gender-based harassment may report their complaint directly 
to the Title IX Coordinator. A complainant may also report directly to law

enforcement. If the incident happened on campus, you may contact 
the Campus Police Department or the Student Health Center. If a report 
is initially made with Campus Police or the Student Health Center, 
authorized personnel in those departments may refer cases to the Title 
IX Coordinator, but only with the victim’s consent. A complainant may 
pursue both the campus process through the Title IX Coordinator and 
the criminal process simultaneously. In addition, students may file a Title 
IX complaint with the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of 
Education. 

The Title IX Coordinator has authority to address complaints of sexual 
harassment and sexual violence in a non-criminal context. This campus 
process is completely separate from the police and courts. Within 
Oxnard College, the identity of the respondent determines which of 
the two offices handles the case. When the respondent is a student 
at the time of the incident, the Title IX Coordinator provides a student 
conduct process for investigating those cases whether they occur on 
or off campus. For cases where the respondent is an employee, those 
cases are handled by the District Human Resources Department. When 
the respondent is both a student and an employee, the two offices may 
work together to resolve the case. If you are uncertain about which 
office to contact you may call either office. When the respondent is 
neither a student nor employee at OC, the college can still assist you 
with counseling and other support services—contact the Student Health 
Center for these services. 

College employees must refer reports of sexual harassment, sexual 
violence, or other gender-based harassment to the Title IX Office. The 
only exception to the obligation to report applies to employees working 
in the Student Health Center.
