Diversity

The college is committed to creating a curriculum and learning environment that empowers students to become contributing members of an increasingly multicultural and diverse society. Students are encouraged to explore and to be exposed to diverse cultures and perspectives as an important aspect of their learning experience.
Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination in Employment and Education
Hennepin Technical College is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination in education and employment opportunity. No person shall be discriminated against in the terms and conditions of employment, personnel practices, or access to and participation in programs, services, and activities. Harassment of an individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, creed, religion, age, national origin, disability, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, familial status, or membership or activity in a local commission has no place in a learning or work environment and is prohibited.
This policy is directed at verbal and physical conduct that constitutes discrimination/harassment under state and federal law and is not directed at the content of speech. Cases in which verbal statements and other forms of expression are involved, HTC will give due consideration to an individual’s constitutionally protected right to free speech and academic freedom. Please refer to policy 1B.1 Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination in Employment and Education at: hennepintech.edu/policy
HTC’s designated officer for students is Hilary Dahlman, Director of Academic Support Programs, contact information: Hilary.Dahlman@HennepinTech.edu or (952) 995-1300. Hilary's office is located at the Tutoring Center Brooklyn Park campus room G241 & Eden Prairie campus, room E150.
Report/Complaint of Discrimination/Harassment Investigation and Resolution
This procedure is designed to further implement Minnesota State policies relating to nondiscrimination by providing a process through which individuals alleging violation of system non-discrimination policies may pursue a complaint. This includes allegations of discrimination or harassment based on sex, race, age, disability, color, creed, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, familial status, status with regard to public assistance or membership or activity in a local commission. This procedure is not applicable to allegations of sexual violence, which should be handled under appropriate system and college or university policies and procedures.
This procedure shall apply to all individuals affiliated with Minnesota State, including its students, employees, and applicants for employment, and is intended to protect the rights and privacy of both the complainant and respondent and other involved individuals, as well as to prevent retaliation/reprisal. Individuals who violate this procedure shall be subject to disciplinary or other corrective action.
Not every act that may be offensive to an individual or group constitutes discrimination or harassment. In determining whether discrimination or harassment has occurred, the totality of the circumstances surrounding the incident must be carefully reviewed and due consideration must be given to the protection of individual rights, freedom of speech, academic freedom, and advocacy.
Minnesota State shall maintain and encourage full freedom, within the law, of expression, inquiry, teaching, and research. Academic freedom comes with a responsibility that all members of our education community benefit from it without intimidation, exploitation, or coercion. Discrimination and harassment are not within the protections of academic freedom.
To file a complaint, please refer to the “Concern/Complaint/Grievance Form”.
Student complaints are overseen by Hilary Dahlman, Director of Academic Support Programs/Title IX Coordinator, contact information: hilary.dahlman@hennepintech.edu or 952.995.1544.
