The Board of Education is committed to providing a work and learning environment that is free of violence and the threat of violence. The Board of Education’s priority is the effective handling of critical workplace violence incidents, including those dealing with actual or potential violence.

The President shall establish administrative procedures that assure that employees are informed regarding what actions will be considered violent acts, and requiring any employee who is the victim of any violent conduct in the workplace, or is a witness to violent conduct to report the incident, and that employees are informed that there will be no retaliation for such reporting.

Board Policies are adopted by the Lane Community College Board of Education and establish the College’s governing principles and institutional direction. These policies are reviewed by the Board at least every five years or more often as needed. Board Policies are distinct from College Operating Policies and Procedures (COPPS), which provide operational guidance and are developed through governance processes and by responsible managers.
