MCLA has a number of policies in place to protect the rights of its community members, including the University Equal Opportunity, Diversity and Affirmative Action Policy, which includes the Sexual Violence Policy. In addition, the Student Handbook contains a list of inappropriate behaviors that can be reported through the College Student Conduct System and the range of possible disciplinary sanctions available if a student is found responsible for a reported violation. Any students who needs assistance in managing reports of violations for any of these policies can visit or call the Office of Student Affairs Campus Center, Room 305 or at 413-662-5231 for assistance.
