Mohawk College’s ‘Human Rights Policy’ establishes a commitment to provide a working and learning environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Every employee, contractor, visitor and student has the right to work and learn in an atmosphere of equal opportunity that is free from discrimination and harassment. The policy provides information on what constitutes discrimination and harassment, how to file a complaint, and the investigation and decision making process.
