Dear members of the Metropolitan Community College community,
At MCC, the safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff and visitors remain a top priority. Each year, we publish this Annual Security Report to give a clear overview of campus safety policies, procedures and crime statistics. Our aim is not only to satisfy the requirements of the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act, but also to make sure that everyone in our college community feels informed, empowered and prepared.
The MCC Police Department is committed to maintaining a safe environment that supports your educational goals. Through teamwork, proactive patrols and a focus on education and prevention, we strive to reduce crime and build a sense of shared responsibility. We encourage you to take advantage of our crime prevention programs, safety escorts and emergency preparedness resources. Safety is a joint effort — your awareness and participation are essential.
Please take the time to carefully read this report. It contains important information about our crime statistics, emergency response procedures and support services available. I also encourage you to report any suspicious activity, ask questions and engage with our department — we are here to help you.
Thank you for being an active partner in keeping MCC safe.
Sincerely,
David J. Friend
Chief of Police

MCC Police holds overall responsibility for preparing and distributing the Annual Security Report (ASR), which is reviewed and updated annually as a single, cohesive document according to the requirements of the federal law known as the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act (Clery Act), outlined below.
To ensure the ASR is accurate and comprehensive, MCC Police uses its records and requests formal crime statistics and other necessary information from campus security authorities and any law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction over noncampus property. Although requests for statistics are made, outside agencies are not required to provide crime data, so not all do. Some data is provided in formats that do not provide enough information for statistical analysis. All viable statistics are included in the crime numbers later in this report. The data is compiled and reviewed to prevent duplication and to ensure incidents are properly categorized.
MCC Police maintains all records related to completing the ASR (crime reports, daily incident summaries, disciplinary referrals and copies of timely warnings). The ASR is completed and posted by Oct. 1 of each year. Visit mccneb.edu/Police to access the ASR and other crime prevention, safety and reporting information. MCC Police is also responsible for uploading the relevant three-year crime statistics found in the ASR. Visit ope.ed.gov/CampusSafety/# to view these three-year crime statistics on the Department of Education website. Click on “Get Data for One School” and search for “Metropolitan Community College Area” by Oct. 1 of each year.
The College understands the importance of the information provided in its ASR and ensures that its existence and location are adequately publicized. A paper copy is available upon request. Every October, a mass email is sent to all students and employees to notify them that the newest version of the ASR is available and to provide the specific website address where the report can be accessed (mccneb.edu/Police). Prospective students are notified of the report via a link on the students’ webpage; prospective employees are notified through a statement on the Human Resources application website.

The Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act (20 USC § 1092(f)) is a significant federal law, originally called the Campus Security Act, which requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crimes on and near their campuses. The “Clery Act” is named in memory of 19-year-old Lehigh University freshman Jeanne Ann Clery, who was sexually assaulted and murdered while sleeping in her residence hall room on April 5, 1986. The law is linked to an institution’s participation in federal student financial aid programs and applies to most higher education institutions, both public and private. The Clery Act is enforced by the United States Department of Education.
Among other requirements, the Clery Act mandates that colleges and universities:
Publish an Annual Security Report by Oct. 1 of each year that covers three calendar years of specific campus crime statistics, along with security policies, procedures and information about the rights of victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. The law requires schools to make the report available to all current students and employees and to notify prospective students and employees of its availability, providing ope.ed.gov/CampusSafety/# a copy upon request. Schools may meet this requirement online if they inform recipients and clearly specify the online location of the report.
Institutions with police or security departments must keep a public crime log that records the “nature, date, time and general location of each crime” along with its disposition, if known.
Incidents must be recorded in the log within two business days. The log must be accessible to the public during regular business hours, stay open for 60 days and then be made available within two business days upon request.
Crime statistics for the three most recent calendar years must be disclosed in the ASR and submitted annually to the U.S. Department of Education through the Campus Safety and Security Survey. The ASR must be distributed or made available in accordance with 34 CFR 668.41(e).
The statistics are gathered from campus police or security, local law enforcement and other school officials (Campus Security Authorities) who have “significant responsibility for student and campus activities.” The Clery Act requires reporting of the specified crimes and law violations.
The Clery Act requires reporting of the following crimes and law violations:
CRIMINAL HOMICIDE
|
HATE CRIMES - Must be reported by category of prejudice, including race, gender, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity and/or disability. In addition to the other crimes, if the crime committed is classified as a hate crime, statistics are required for the following four crime categories:
|
SEX OFFENSES
|
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT OFFENSES
|
| ROBBERY | |
| AGGRAVATED ASSAULT | |
| BURGLARY | |
| MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT | |
| ARSON | |
| HAZING |
Sexual assault — Sexual assault is a Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) offense; however, for Clery Act statistical reporting purposes, rape, fondling, incest and statutory rape are reported within the Criminal Offenses category.
As specified by the Clery Act, the following property descriptions are used to identify where crimes occur on and around MCC campuses.
On-campus buildings or property — Any building or property owned or controlled by an institution within the same reasonably contiguous geographic area and used by the institution in direct support of, or related to, the institution’s educational purposes, including residence halls and any building or property that is within or reasonably contiguous to the area described above, owned by the institution but controlled by another person, frequently used by students and in support of institutional purposes (such as a food or retail vendor).
Noncampus buildings or property — Any building or property owned or controlled by a student organization that the institution officially recognizes, or any building or property owned or controlled by an institution that is used directly to support or relate to the institution’s educational purposes, is frequently accessed by students and is not located within a reasonably contiguous geographic area of the institution.
Public property — All public property, including roads, streets, sidewalks and parking areas, that is within the campus or directly adjacent to and accessible from it.
The definitions for these geographic categories are Clery Act-specific and are the same for every institution regardless of its physical size or configuration.
See the appendix for campus maps and Clery Act geography outlines.
The Metropolitan Community College Police Department (commonly known as MCC Police) was established in October 2010 in response to a national trend encouraging public postsecondary institutions to develop their own dedicated law enforcement agencies. These agencies provide quicker response times to incidents, tailored campus services and an enhanced ability to maintain safety in educational settings.
MCC Police has primary jurisdiction and is responsible for investigating crimes and delivering law enforcement services across all MCC locations within the College’s four-county service area. Sworn police officers are assigned to the Elkhorn Valley, Fort Omaha and South Omaha campuses, with coverage extended to other MCC locations as needed.
MCC Police is officially recognized as a law enforcement agency by the Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice. All MCC Police officers are commissioned and certified as Nebraska law enforcement officers. Additionally, officers are appointed by the governor of Nebraska as special deputy state sheriffs, granting them extraterritorial jurisdiction. This designation authorizes MCC officers to arrest and enforce state laws in any city or county where MCC properties are located, and to exercise authority statewide for crimes originating on MCC property.
MCC Police maintains a working relationship with state and local law enforcement agencies having jurisdiction within the College’s four-county service area, including agencies serving Douglas, Dodge, Sarpy and Washington counties.
All commissioned officers receive annual state-mandated training and ongoing continuing education to maintain their certification and effectiveness in the field.
In addition to its sworn officers, the department employs Public Safety Officers (PSOs). While PSOs are noncommissioned, unarmed and do not have arrest powers, they play a vital role in maintaining security. PSOs receive specialized training in life safety, security practices and responding to various situations on campus.
The MCC Police Dispatch Center serves as the central hub for coordinating law enforcement and public safety operations across all MCC campuses.
It operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays, providing continuous monitoring, communication and emergency response capabilities.
The Dispatch Center is staffed by trained police communication dispatchers who are responsible for:
By actively monitoring security cameras, intrusion alarms and fire detection systems, dispatchers can quickly detect emergencies or suspicious activity and coordinate appropriate responses. This proactive oversight plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and security of MCC students, faculty, staff and visitors.
To report an incident or request assistance, contact the MCC Police Dispatch Center at 531-622-2222.
MCC encourages all students, employees and members of the College community to accurately and promptly report crimes to MCC Police and, when appropriate, to the state or local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the location where the crime occurred. When a victim elects to report a crime, MCC will assist the victim, upon request, in contacting the appropriate law enforcement agency. When a victim is unable to make a report, members of the College community are encouraged to promptly report the incident to MCC Police or the appropriate law enforcement agency so that appropriate assistance and response can be provided.
MCC Police submits a monthly Uniform Crime Report to the Nebraska Crime Commission as required for inclusion in national crime statistics published by the FBI.
All students, faculty, staff and visitors are strongly encouraged to report crimes, suspicious activity or emergencies to MCC Police as soon as possible. Under Nebraska state law, MCC Police reports are public records and cannot be held in confidence.
College personnel have the authority to request valid identification (e.g., student ID, driver’s license or state ID) from anyone on campus. In emergencies involving crime, fire, medical issues or other immediate threats, individuals are encouraged to call 911 without delay.
The mission of MCC Police is to provide a safe and secure environment that supports and enhances the educational mission of MCC. Crime prevention is a core priority at all MCC campuses.

For assistance, questions or to report an incident, contact the MCC Police at 531-622-2222, available 24/7 to support the safety of the MCC community.
The Clery Act identifies certain individuals and organizations as Campus Security Authorities (CSAs). CSAs serve an important role in the College’s Clery Act compliance by ensuring that reports of Clery Act crimes are provided to the College for evaluation, statistical reporting, and when applicable, consideration of whether a timely warning should be issued.
Students and employees may report criminal offenses to MCC Police or any CSA. When a CSA receives a report of an alleged Clery Act crime, the CSA must promptly provide the required information to MCC Police for Clery Act purposes.
CSAs are not responsible for investigating a reported crime, determining whether a crime occurred, finding an alleged offender or determining responsibility. Their responsibility is to report information about alleged Clery Act crimes that comes to their attention so MCC can determine whether the incident must be included in its Clery Act crime statistics and whether the circumstances warrant a timely warning or other safety response.
CSAs at MCC undergo annual training. This training provides them with the knowledge and tools needed to understand their responsibilities under the Clery Act, including recognizing and reporting Clery Act reportable crimes, maintaining confidentiality and supporting campus safety efforts. By completing this standardized training each year, CSAs help ensure accurate crime reporting and contribute to a safe and informed college community.
Based on their responsibilities at MCC, CSAs include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following positions and organizations:

A complete list of MCC CSAs can be found on our website.
The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 requires postsecondary institutions participating in federal student aid programs, including MCC, to disclose certain information to enrolled and prospective students, parents, employees and the public.
Visit mccneb.edu/about-mcc/news-center/policies/consumer-information for more information.
All students, faculty, staff and visitors are encouraged to report all crimes and emergencies to MCC Police promptly.
The College will protect the privacy of victims. Only those who need to know the victim’s identity for purposes such as investigating the crime, assisting the victim or disciplining the perpetrator will be informed. Under the College’s sexual harassment policy, when an employee who is not a confidential resource becomes aware of alleged misconduct (including but not limited to dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking), that employee is responsible for reporting the information, including the status of the parties if known, to the Title IX coordinator. A victim of other types of crimes (e.g., aggravated assault, burglary, etc.) who does not wish to pursue action through the College disciplinary system or the criminal justice system is still encouraged to file a report with a CSA. This report respects the victim’s wishes but still allows the College to take appropriate steps to ensure the future safety of the victim and others. With such information, the College can keep an accurate record of incident numbers involving members of the campus community, identify patterns of crime and alert the community to potential dangers. These reports are compiled and included in the College’s annual crime statistics.
Emergency: 911
MCC Police: 531-622-2222
When contacting the MCC Police, provide the following information:
Metropolitan Community College will issue a timely warning when a Clery Act crime reported to MCC Police, a CSA, or a local law enforcement agency is determined to represent a serious or continuing threat to students or employees. The purpose of a timely warning is to provide members of the College community with information that will enable them to protect themselves and assist in the prevention of similar crimes.
The MCC Chief of Police, or designee, is responsible for coordinating a timely review of the circumstances surrounding a reported crime and determining whether the incident represents a serious or continuing threat to the College community that warrants a timely warning. When appropriate, MCC Police works in conjunction with the College’s Crisis Communication Team in responding to the incident and communicating information to the College community.
Timely warning determinations are made on a case-by-case basis in light of the facts and circumstances known to MCC at the time. Factors that may be considered include, but are not limited to:
The absence of complete information will not necessarily delay a timely warning when the information available indicates that a serious or continuing threat exists.
When a timely warning is warranted, the College’s Crisis Communication Team, in coordination with MCC Police, will determine the content of the warning and the appropriate method or methods of distribution based on the circumstances of the incident.
A timely warning will contain sufficient information to promote safety and assist members of the College community in protecting themselves and preventing similar crimes. Depending on the circumstances and the information available, a warning may include:
Timely warnings will withhold the names of victims and other personally identifying information about victims consistent with the Clery Act. MCC will balance the need to provide information that enables members of the College community to protect themselves with applicable privacy and safety considerations.
Timely warnings will be distributed in a manner reasonably likely to reach the College community. Depending on the circumstances, MCC may use one or more communication methods, including:
MCC Police will continue to assess the circumstances following issuance of a timely warning and will determine when the threat has ended.
Metropolitan Community College will, without delay and taking into account the safety of the College community, notify the appropriate segment or segments of the campus community upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation occurring on campus that involves an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees. Notification will not be delayed unless, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, issuing a notification would compromise efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency.
When a threatening, dangerous or potentially emergent situation is reported to MCC Police, MCC Police will assess the circumstances and determine the nature and severity of the situation. The Chief of Police or an on-duty MCC Police supervisor, in consultation with the President and/or Chief of Staff, is responsible for determining whether the situation constitutes a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees.
In making this determination, MCC may consider the nature and severity of the threat; whether the threat is ongoing; the location and scope of the emergency; the number and population of individuals who are or may be affected; information received from law enforcement, emergency management, fire or other public-safety agencies; and other information relevant to assessing the immediate threat to the College community.
Examples of situations that may warrant an emergency notification include, but are not limited to, fires, bomb threats, civil disturbances, hazardous-material or chemical incidents, acts of violence involving an ongoing threat, severe weather, tornadoes or other significant emergencies or dangerous situations that pose an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees.
Once a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat has been confirmed, the College Crisis Communication Team, in coordination with MCC Police, will determine the appropriate segment or segments of the College community to receive the emergency notification.
The determination will be based on the nature, location, scope and anticipated impact of the emergency and the population that is or may be affected. Depending on the circumstances, notification may be directed to individuals in a particular building, campus, center or other affected location, or to the entire College community when broader notification is appropriate.
MCC will not limit notification to a smaller segment of the College community when available information indicates that a larger portion of the community may be affected by the emergency.Determining the content of the notification
The College Crisis Communication Team, in coordination with MCC Police, will determine the content of the emergency notification and the communication method or methods appropriate to the circumstances.
Emergency notifications will provide information necessary to inform the affected College community of the emergency and, when appropriate, actions individuals should take to protect their health and safety. Depending on the circumstances and available information, an emergency notification may include:
The absence of complete information will not necessarily delay an emergency notification when MCC has confirmed a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat.
Following confirmation of an emergency or dangerous situation, MCC Police and the College Crisis Communication Team are authorized to initiate the College’s emergency notification procedures and systems in accordance with the College’s emergency and crisis communication procedures.
Depending on the nature and circumstances of the emergency, MCC may use one or more communication methods to distribute an emergency notification, including:
When a significant emergency or dangerous situation occurring on an MCC campus may affect individuals, organizations, neighborhoods, public agencies or others beyond the immediately affected College population, the College Crisis Communication Team, in coordination with MCC Police, will determine whether and how emergency information should be disseminated to the larger community.
Depending on the circumstances, MCC may coordinate communication with local law enforcement, fire and rescue services, emergency management agencies, public health authorities, other governmental agencies, neighboring organizations, news media or other appropriate entities.
The designated College spokesperson may be the President, Chief of Staff, College Marketing Officer, Chief of Police or another appropriate College official, depending on the nature and circumstances of the emergency.
When MCC Police receive a report of a possible emergency on campus, they will respond quickly to the incident location, assess the situation and determine the nature and severity of the event. If the officer at the scene finds there is a potential or immediate threat to the safety of any student, faculty member, staff member or visitor, they will activate the emergency notification system.
MCC tests its emergency response and evacuation procedures at least once each calendar year. Tests may or may not be announced and may include drills, exercises or other activities designed to assess and evaluate the College’s emergency response and evacuation procedures and capabilities.
MCC Police, in coordination with appropriate College departments and officials, is responsible for conducting or coordinating these tests. In addition to required annual testing, MCC may conduct additional tests, drills or simulated emergency exercises throughout the year to evaluate emergency systems, equipment, communications and response procedures.
In conjunction with at least one test each calendar year, MCC will publicize its emergency response and evacuation procedures to students and employees. This information may include procedures for reporting emergencies, receiving emergency notifications, evacuating College facilities, sheltering in place and responding to specific emergency situations.
MCC uses the results of emergency tests and exercises, when appropriate, to evaluate its emergency response practices, identify areas for improvement and make modifications to emergency procedures, communications, training or equipment.
When an exercise may affect individuals or organizations outside the College or its campuses, the MCC Chief of Police or designee will coordinate appropriate notifications and arrangements with affected agencies or organizations.
If it is determined that a campus event could impact the community and media communication is necessary, the MCC Police Chief or their subordinate will ensure proper contacts are made and that the College’s press policy guidelines are followed.
Additional emergency information, including evacuation procedures and designated shelter areas for MCC locations, is available in the College’s Emergency Procedures Handbook.
For more details and emergency procedures, including specific evacuation plans and shelter areas for each campus, see the College’s Emergency Procedure Handbook (mccneb.edu/Police).
MCC Police maintains a written, easily understood daily crime log of crimes reported to the department that occurred within the College’s applicable Clery Act geography. Crimes are entered in the daily crime log by the date the crime was reported to MCC Police, regardless of when the crime occurred.
The daily crime log includes the nature, date, time and general location of each crime and the disposition of the complaint, if known. MCC Police makes an entry or addition to the log within two business days after information concerning the crime is reported to the department, unless disclosure is prohibited by law or would jeopardize the confidentiality of the victim.
MCC may temporarily withhold information from the daily crime log when there is clear and convincing evidence that releasing the information would:
Only information that would cause one of these adverse effects will be withheld. Information that has been temporarily withheld will be disclosed once the adverse effect is no longer likely to occur.
The daily crime log for the most recent 60-day period is available for public inspection during normal business hours. Portions of the log older than 60 days will be made available for public inspection within two business days of a request.
Historical crime and incident data or the daily crime hard copy can be requested from the MCC Police Office during normal business hours, located at:

MCC Police, in collaboration with MCC Facilities, oversees adding and removing keys and card access for staff, adjusts electronic door schedules, monitors alarmed areas and assists the College with access control needs. No keys may be duplicated by any department or individual. Campus buildings are generally accessible during regular office hours. Entry outside these times is restricted and requires prior approval.
Facilities are maintained with a focus on safety, including regular exterior lighting and security assessments. Video monitoring is installed at strategic locations across all College campuses. Specific buildings have cameras directed at higher-risk areas. MCC Police oversee the recording, storage and potential sharing of all video footage collected at MCC locations.
After-hours access requests: Call MCC Police at 531-622-2222.
Any MCC student or employee who requests information about a suspected sex offender working or studying on campus should contact the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP), which maintains a list of registered sex offenders. The NSP Omaha phone number is 402-331-3333. Visit sor.nebraska.gov to access the NSP Sex Offender Registry website.
Whenever a convicted sex offender enrolls at or is employed by a postsecondary institution, they are required to notify the state, which then must inform the college. As a policy, MCC Police will review the information of each reported sexual offender who becomes a student, volunteer or employee and assess the level of threat to campus safety. Sex Offender Registry information shall not be used to retaliate against the registrants, their families or their employers in any way. Vandalism as well as verbal or written threats of harm are illegal and will lead to arrest and prosecution.
The illegal possession, use or sale of firearms, ammunition, fireworks, major or minor explosives or any lethal weapon is prohibited and can result in College discipline and criminal charges.
MCC is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all students, staff and visitors. To achieve this, MCC enforces a smoke and tobacco-free policy across all College-owned or leased properties, including buildings, grounds, parking lots, sidewalks and vehicles.
The use of all tobacco products — including but not limited to cigarettes, cigars, pipes, smokeless tobacco, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and vaping devices — is strictly banned on campus. This policy applies to all members of the College community, including students, faculty, staff, contractors and guests. Individuals who violate this policy may face disciplinary action or removal from College property. MCC encourages those seeking help with tobacco cessation to contact Student Services or Human Resources for support and resources.
MCC does not operate on-campus housing and is not required to maintain a missing student notification policy under the Clery Act.
MCC does not manage on-campus housing and is not obligated to publish a fire safety report.
During the academic year, various College offices, including Student Wellness, Student Engagement, Human Resources, Student Services and Academic Affairs, offer a range of educational programs to the College community. These programs address topics such as crime prevention, personal safety, substance abuse, mental health and related issues, and are delivered in different formats.
Here are some workshops, training sessions and programs available to students, faculty and staff:
Suicide Prevention Training: This training will help increase one’s knowledge and understanding of suicide, recognize warning signs, identify risk and protective factors and boost willingness and ability to intervene with a person at risk of suicide. It will also raise awareness of different MCC resources, as well as local and national resources available for students or other individuals in crisis.
Mental Health Awareness Workshop: This workshop raises awareness about mental health challenges commonly faced by students and provides practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety and other concerns. Participants will learn to recognize signs of mental health struggles in themselves and others and discover how to seek help. The session also introduces local and campus resources available for support.
Wellness and Self-Care Workshop: This workshop introduces students to the eight dimensions of well-being — emotional, physical, social, intellectual, occupational, environmental, financial and spiritual — and explores how each plays a vital role in overall health. Participants will learn practical tips and tricks for maintaining balance across these areas and discover effective self-care strategies to support their academic success and personal growth.
Cybersecurity Awareness for Employees at Educational Institutions — Security Awareness Essentials: While technology weaknesses always represent a security threat, one of the biggest threats to an organization’s security today is human error. Employees who are unaware of the risks associated with their personal internet and technology usage, or their role in securing their work environment, can create security vulnerabilities for themselves and the organization. By the end of this course, employees at educational institutions will be able to describe the ways they can help protect against cyberattacks, define an acceptable use policy and what it contains, explain best practices for protecting the security of smart devices and compare and contrast the pros and cons of “bringing your own device.”
Active Shooter Workshop: MCC Police will explain the “Run, Hide, Fight” model for responding to an active shooter incident, as presented by the Department of Homeland Security. In this one-hour presentation, MCC Police officers review the tactical options of Run, Hide and Fight by citing actual case studies of incidents, as well as the College’s response to these incidents.
De-escalation techniques: Learn about how to properly de-escalate a situation with a person exhibiting anxious, hostile or challenging behavior. How you respond to the behavior is often the key to defusing it.
De-escalation training gives you simple and effective techniques to:
This training will equip individuals with proven skills and best practices in de-escalation. With safe, effective techniques, you’ll build confidence in stopping situations from spinning out of control. And you’ll increase your ability to prevent alarming situations from happening at all.
MCC emergency preparedness and situational awareness: “When Lightning Strikes: How to Recognize and Respond to an Extreme Violence Event” is a one-hour training workshop that provides essential guidance for recognizing and surviving extreme violence situations in society, including concert halls, movie theaters, the workplace, schools and malls. The training covers:
Stop the Bleed: This in-person, hands-on class teaches the basics of identifying and treating life-threatening bleeding using tourniquets, wound packing and pressure dressings. It teaches what “immediate responders,” i.e., bystanders, can do to stop potentially fatal bleeding before emergency responders can arrive. In this one-hour course, participants are instructed on methods to stop bleeding at active shooter and mass casualty incidents. The MCC Police Department has the equipment and trained instructors to present this course.
MCC departments, faculty and students can also request crime prevention workshops for their groups by reaching out to the MCC Police Department.
MCC Student Wellness provides a variety of awareness activities and workshops throughout the year. Information about current offerings is available on our website.
MCC provides primary prevention and awareness programs for all incoming students and new employees and ongoing prevention and awareness campaigns for students and employees. These programs address dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking and include: the applicable definitions of these offenses under the Clery Act and Nebraska law; the definition of consent in reference to sexual activity under Nebraska law; a statement that MCC prohibits dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking; information about safe and positive options for bystander intervention that may be used to prevent harm or intervene when there is a risk of these forms of violence; and information about risk reduction designed to decrease perpetration and bystander inaction, increase empowerment for victims and promote safety and understanding of conditions that may facilitate violence. Prevention and awareness programming also provides information about the College’s procedures for responding to reports of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking, including reporting options, available resources, supportive and protective measures and College disciplinary procedures.
All new employees must complete discrimination and harassment training.
Responsible employees receive specialized training on their duties when responding to sexual assault reports, including how to support survivors.
Ongoing education is offered through:
Sexual harassment staff-to-staff training: Covers the impact of harassment, legal responsibilities and strategies to maintain a harassment-free workplace.
Student training and awareness: Information on MCC policies, prevention and resources is shared through:
Sexual assault prevention and advocacy: Presentations for students, faculty and staff on prevention, bystander intervention and survivor support, offered at orientations, classes and departmental meetings.
Community resource fairs: Held annually at all three main campuses and featuring agencies such as Catholic Charities of Omaha, Christian Outreach Program-Elkhorn, Heartland Workforce Solutions/WorkOpps, OneWorld Community Health Centers, Vocational Rehabilitation, Women’s Center for Advancement (WCA), Lutheran Family Services and the Nebraska Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Coalition.
Friday Fix Virtual Workshop – Self-Care and Healthy Mental Environment: Focuses on stress management, resilience, boundary setting and mental health resources.
WCA campuswide training: Educates participants on recognizing abusive relationship dynamics, preventing sexual assault, understanding local sexual violence statistics and connecting survivors to services through the WCA.
Sometimes, the best way to help is through peer intervention. As students and members of this campus community, everyone should be dedicated to their peers’ well-being. If you notice something concerning happening with a fellow student, speak up and consider taking action to support them. Don’t hesitate to talk to a friend or acquaintance about your concerns and offer help.
Bystanders can engage and intervene through safe, positive interaction techniques and encourage third-party intervention methods, such as asking the victim if they need help, calling 911, identifying allies or creating distractions. Bystander intervention training highlights the importance of interveners ensuring their own safety with the techniques they select and encourages them to act in the community’s best interest, even if others choose to be bystanders.
The following are some ways a bystander could intervene:
Risk reduction includes strategies and options designed to decrease perpetration and bystander inaction, increase empowerment for individuals who may experience sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence or stalking, and promote safety and help-seeking behaviors. Risk-reduction information is incorporated into the College’s prevention and awareness programs for students and employees.
No strategy can eliminate the risk of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence or stalking, and responsibility for these acts always rests with the person who chooses to engage in the prohibited conduct. The following strategies may help individuals identify potentially unsafe situations, make informed choices, seek assistance and support others.
Situational awareness and personal safety
Be aware of your surroundings and the people around you. Knowing where you are and identifying available exits, populated areas or sources of assistance may help you respond if a situation becomes uncomfortable or unsafe.
Trust your instincts. If a situation or location feels unsafe or uncomfortable, consider leaving and moving to a place where you feel safer. When possible, avoid becoming isolated with someone you do not know or trust.
Keep a charged cell phone accessible when possible. Avoid distractions that significantly limit your awareness of your surroundings, such as wearing headphones in both ears while walking alone.
If you observe suspicious behavior or believe you or someone else may be in danger, contact the MCC Police Department or call 911 in an emergency.
Social gatherings and alcohol safety
When attending a social gathering, consider going with people you trust. Arrive together, check in with one another during the event and make plans for getting home safely.
Maintain control of your beverage. Do not leave a drink unattended. If you lose sight of your drink, consider getting a new one. Be cautious about accepting drinks from people you do not know or trust. When possible, watch your drink being prepared and keep it with you. Exercise caution with shared, open beverage containers.
Alcohol or drug use never makes a person responsible for being sexually assaulted or otherwise harmed. A person who is incapacitated by alcohol or drugs cannot provide consent.
Looking out for others
Pay attention to the people around you. If someone appears unusually intoxicated, disoriented, incapacitated or is behaving significantly out of character, consider intervening when it is safe to do so, getting assistance from others or helping the person reach a safe location.
If you believe someone may have been drugged, sexually assaulted or is otherwise in immediate danger, call 911 or seek medical assistance as soon as possible. Tell medical professionals if drug-facilitated sexual assault is suspected so they can determine appropriate testing, evidence collection options and medical care.
Risk reduction is one component of the College’s broader prevention and awareness efforts. MCC prevention programs also address prohibited conduct, consent, bystander intervention and strategies intended to reduce perpetration and promote a campus culture in which community members recognize concerning behaviors, intervene safely when appropriate and seek assistance when needed.
Students, faculty and staff involvement in a campus safety program is essential. People on campus can safeguard themselves and their belongings by taking easy precautions.
Theft is a crime of opportunity. Help MCC Police by eliminating that opportunity.
Most reported thefts share similar factors that led to the crime. The most common factor is an unattended room. Victims often say they leave the room for just a minute with the door open to walk down the hall. When they come back, their wallet, purse, laptop or keys are gone. If an item has value to you, it also has value to criminals. Here are some helpful tips to prevent theft:
Identity theft occurs when someone else fraudulently acquires and assumes your identity for financial gain.
Metropolitan Community College prohibits the unauthorized possession, use, manufacture, distribution or sale of alcoholic beverages on College premises, while on College business, at College activities or in College-supplied vehicles. The use or possession of alcohol on College property is prohibited except when specifically authorized in accordance with College policy.
MCC complies with and enforces applicable Nebraska laws and local ordinances governing alcoholic beverages, including laws prohibiting the possession, consumption or procurement of alcohol by persons under the legal drinking age. Suspected violations may be referred to MCC Police or the appropriate law enforcement agency. Students and employees who violate College alcohol policies may also be subject to applicable College disciplinary procedures.
Metropolitan Community College prohibits the unauthorized possession, use, manufacture, distribution or sale of illegal drugs, controlled substances or drug paraphernalia on College premises, while on College business, at College activities or in College-supplied vehicles. This prohibition includes controlled substances as defined by the federal Controlled Substances Act and Nebraska drug-control laws, except when possession or use is lawfully authorized.
MCC complies with and enforces applicable federal and Nebraska laws concerning illegal drugs and controlled substances.

In accordance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, MCC conducts a biennial review of its drug and alcohol prevention program to evaluate the program’s effectiveness, identify and implement needed changes and determine whether disciplinary sanctions are consistently enforced.
MCC offers the following workshop for students:
Alcohol and Other Drugs Presentation: Students will learn about various substances — including alcohol, cannabis, stimulants and opioids — along with facts and statistics related to their use, effects on the brain and body and potential consequences. The session also covers signs of misuse, withdrawal symptoms and available treatment or recovery options. Students will leave with practical strategies for harm reduction, supporting peers and making informed decisions about substance use.
Metropolitan Community College is committed to maintaining an educational environment in which students may participate in College programs, activities, teams, clubs and organizations without being subjected to hazing. MCC prohibits hazing by students, employees, student organizations, clubs or other groups associated with the College.
For purposes of the Clery Act and the Stop Campus Hazing Act, hazing means any intentional, knowing or reckless act committed by a person, whether individually or in concert with other persons, against another person(s), regardless of the willingness of the person(s) to participate, that:
For purposes of this definition, a student organization includes an organization at MCC in which two or more members are students enrolled at MCC, whether or not the organization is established or recognized by the College. This may include, but is not limited to, clubs, societies, associations, student government and other student groups.
An individual’s willingness or consent to participate in an activity does not exclude the activity from the definition of hazing.
MCC encourages students, employees, witnesses and other members of the College community to promptly report suspected or known hazing.
Reports may be made to MCC Police, a CSA or other appropriate College officials. Emergencies or situations involving an immediate threat to health or safety should be reported by calling 911 or MCC Police.
Reports of hazing will be reviewed and referred to the appropriate College office or officials for investigation and response in accordance with applicable MCC policies and procedures.
MCC Police may investigate conduct that may constitute a criminal offense and may coordinate with other law enforcement agencies when appropriate. Conduct that may violate MCC policies may also be referred to the appropriate student conduct, academic, human resources or administrative process.
Employee discipline procedural suggestions and general work expectations:
mccneb.org/DisciplineProcedures
Student conduct and discipline:
mccneb.org/StudentConduct
MCC provides hazing prevention and awareness information and programming designed to educate students and employees about hazing, its potential consequences, the College’s prohibition against hazing, how to recognize and report suspected hazing and strategies for preventing hazing.
The College’s hazing prevention and awareness efforts are intended to be research-informed and may incorporate evidence-based or research-supported strategies for preventing hazing, promoting positive organizational cultures, encouraging bystander intervention, identifying behaviors associated with hazing and reducing the conditions that contribute to hazing.
Prevention and awareness information may be provided through student and employee education, CSA training, student organization and advisor education, leadership programming, College communications and other appropriate training and awareness activities.
In accordance with the Clery Act, as amended by the Stop Campus Hazing Act, MCC collects and reports statistics concerning hazing incidents that meet the applicable federal definition and occur within the College’s Clery geography.
Hazing statistics are compiled from reports received by the MCC Police Department, CSAs and other applicable reporting sources and are classified in accordance with federal Clery Act requirements.
MCC had no reported incidents of hazing.
In addition to the ASR, MCC will maintain and make publicly available a Campus Hazing Transparency Report as required by the Stop Campus Hazing Act. The report will summarize findings concerning hazing violations by student organizations that are established or recognized by MCC, consistent with federal requirements.
MCC prohibits and is committed to preventing crimes such as dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and other acts of sexual misconduct, sexual discrimination and harassment within the College community, as defined by Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), Title IX, Nebraska law and College policy. These incidents can interfere with or hinder an individual’s ability to benefit from or fully participate in the College’s educational programs. Additionally, these incidents may cause serious physical and/or psychological harm.
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is a landmark law designed to improve criminal justice and community responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking in the United States. Since it was enacted in 1994 and reauthorized in 2000, 2005 and 2013, VAWA has changed the environment for victims who previously remained silent. Victims of these crimes can now access various services, and a new generation of families and justice system professionals understand that domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking are serious crimes that society will no longer tolerate.
Title IX is a significant federal civil rights law passed in 1972 that bans sexual harassment, gender-based discrimination and sexual violence. Title IX states that “no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” Under Title IX, Congress can withhold federal funds from colleges or universities that permit sexual discrimination or fail to respond properly to such discrimination. Although Title IX is best known for promoting gender equality in sports, its protections are broader. It covers all forms of sexual discrimination, including harassment, misconduct and violence. Title IX emphasizes three main types of prohibited discrimination:
The law applies equally to students, staff and faculty, and it protects students and employees at educational institutions from sexual harassment by any school employee, student or third party who is not an employee.
For purposes of Clery Act crime classification, statistical reporting and the disclosures contained in this ASR, MCC uses the applicable federal Clery Act and VAWA definitions. These definitions are used for Clery Act reporting purposes and may differ from definitions contained in the College’s Title IX, discrimination and harassment, student conduct, employee or other College policies.
Dating violence means violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim. The existence of such a relationship is determined based on the reporting party’s statement and consideration of the length of the relationship, the type of relationship and the frequency of interaction between the persons involved in the relationship.
Dating violence includes, but is not limited to, sexual or physical abuse or the threat of such abuse. Dating violence does not include acts covered under the definition of domestic violence.
Domestic violence includes a felony or misdemeanor crime of violence committed by a:
Stalking means engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for the person’s safety or the safety of others or suffer substantial emotional distress.
For purposes of this definition, a course of conduct means two or more acts, including acts in which the stalker directly, indirectly or through third parties, by any action, method, device or means, follows, monitors, observes, surveils, threatens, communicates to or about a person, or interferes with a person’s property.
A reasonable person means a reasonable person under similar circumstances and with similar identities to the victim.
Substantial emotional distress means significant mental suffering or anguish that may, but does not necessarily, require medical or other professional treatment or counseling.
Sexual assault means an offense that meets the applicable federal definition of rape, fondling, incest or statutory rape. The definitions of these offenses used by MCC for Clery Act statistical reporting are provided below.
The following definitions are used to determine whether conduct may violate applicable MCC policies. These institutional definitions may differ from the federal definitions used to classify and report crimes under the Clery Act. The classification of an incident for Clery Act reporting purposes does not determine whether an individual violated MCC policy and a determination under an MCC disciplinary process does not, by itself, determine how an incident is classified for Clery Act statistical reporting.
Acts of sexual harassment can be committed by anyone against any other person, regardless of their sex, sexual orientation or gender identity.
Sexual harassment, as a broad category, includes actual or attempted offenses like sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. It is defined as:
Conduct on the basis of sex or that is sexual and satisfies one or more of the following:
*To categorize an incident as domestic violence, the relationship between the Respondent and the Complainant must be more than just two people living together as roommates. The people cohabitating must be current or former spouses or have an intimate relationship
For the purposes of this definition:
*An action is considered “without that person’s consent” when it is imposed on someone who has not freely and actively given permission. “Consent” is a clear exchange of affirmative actions or words that show an active, informed and voluntary agreement to engage in mutually agreed-upon sexual activity. Consent is not freely given when it results from force, threat of force or when a person is incapacitated by voluntary or involuntary drug or alcohol use, or when the person is otherwise physically helpless and the individual performing the act knows or should reasonably know that the other person is incapacitated or physically helpless. A person does not need to resist to demonstrate a lack of consent physically. Past consent for sexual activity does not imply ongoing future consent.
See the appendix for Nebraska laws regarding sexual assault/consent.
All MCC employees (faculty, staff and administrators) are required to report actual or suspected sexual harassment or retaliation to the appropriate officials immediately. To assist in making informed decisions, it is crucial to understand confidentiality and mandatory reporting requirements when consulting campus resources. If a Complainant expects formal action regarding their allegations, reporting to any mandated reporter can connect them with resources to report crimes and/or policy violations. These employees will promptly forward reports to the Title IX coordinator (and/or police, if the Complainant prefers), who will take appropriate action upon receiving an incident report.
Employees must also promptly share all details of behaviors covered by this policy that they observe or know about, even if they were not reported to them by a Complainant or third party. Complainants should carefully consider whether they want to share personally identifiable information with nonconfidential Mandated Reporters, as those details must be shared with the Title IX coordinator.
Generally, disclosures in climate surveys, classroom writing assignments or discussions; human subjects research; or at events such as “Take Back the Night” marches or speak-outs, do not need to be reported to the Title IX coordinator by employees unless the Complainant clearly states that they want a report to be made or requests a specific response from MCC.
MCC does not employ pastoral counselors or licensed professional counselors who provide counseling services to members of the College community while acting within the scope of a pastoral or professional counselor role.
Students and employees may obtain confidential counseling, advocacy, pastoral and related services from off-campus providers identified in the College and Community Resources section of this ASR.
All of the individuals listed above will keep confidentiality when acting within the bounds of their licensure, professional ethics and/or credentials, except in urgent cases of immediate threat or danger, or abuse of a minor, elder or a person with a disability, or when legally required to disclose by law or court order.
MCC makes every effort to protect the privacy of reports. MCC will not disclose the identity of anyone who has reported harassment or retaliation; any Complainant; anyone reported as the perpetrator of sexual harassment or retaliation; any Respondent; or any Witness, except as permitted by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. 1232g; FERPA regulations, 34 CFR part 99; or as required by law. Disclosures may also occur to carry out purposes of 34 CFR Part 106, such as conducting investigations, hearings or grievance processes under MCC policies. MCC retains the right to decide which MCC officials have a legitimate educational interest in knowing about incidents covered by MCC policy in accordance with FERPA. Usually, only a limited group of officials who need to know will be informed about the complaint, including but not limited to the Student Care Team and MCC Police (when applicable).
If dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking occurs, the victim’s immediate safety and well-being are the first priorities. Victims are encouraged to seek assistance and consider the reporting, medical, supportive and legal options available to them. A victim may choose whether to report the incident to law enforcement and may also report the incident to the College. Reporting an incident to MCC does not require a victim to make a criminal report to law enforcement.
Victims are encouraged to preserve evidence following an incident of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. Preserving evidence may be important in proving that an alleged criminal offense occurred, establishing a pattern of behavior, supporting a College complaint or investigation or obtaining a protection order.
Following a sexual assault, if possible, a victim should avoid bathing, showering, douching, brushing their teeth, changing clothes, eating, drinking, smoking or otherwise cleaning themselves before seeking medical attention or a forensic examination. If clothing is changed, items that may contain evidence should be placed separately in paper bags rather than plastic bags. Even if a victim has already taken some of these actions, the victim may still seek medical care or a forensic examination.
For dating violence, domestic violence or stalking, victims should consider preserving photographs of injuries or property damage; threatening or unwanted letters, notes, gifts or other items; text messages; emails; social media posts or messages; call logs; voicemails; screenshots; location information; and other electronic communications. Victims may also find it helpful to maintain a written record of incidents, including dates, times, locations, witnesses and descriptions of the conduct.
Evidence should be preserved even when a victim is uncertain whether they want to make a report or pursue criminal, civil or College action. Preserving evidence keeps options available should the victim decide to take action later.
Victims of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking may report an incident to MCC, law enforcement or both.
For emergencies or situations involving an immediate threat to health or safety, call 911.
Reports to MCC may be made to:
Reports may also be made through the College’s designated online reporting process.
A victim may report an incident to MCC regardless of where the incident occurred. MCC will evaluate the report and determine the College’s obligations and available response based on the circumstances, applicable College policy and applicable law.
Victims have options regarding whether and how law enforcement becomes involved. MCC will respect a victim’s decisions concerning law-enforcement involvement to the extent permitted by law.
A victim has the right to:
Incidents occurring on MCC property or within the jurisdiction of the MCC Police Department may be reported directly to MCC Police. Depending on where an incident occurred, a victim may also report to the local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over that location. MCC personnel will assist a victim in contacting the appropriate law enforcement agency if requested.
A victim’s decision not to report an incident to law enforcement does not prevent the victim from reporting the incident to MCC, requesting supportive measures or seeking other assistance available through the College.
Similarly, reporting an incident to law enforcement does not automatically require a victim to participate in a College complaint or resolution process, although MCC may have independent obligations to assess and respond to information it receives.
College and criminal justice processes are separate. A victim may pursue a College process, a criminal process, both processes or neither, subject to MCC’s obligations under applicable law.
Upon receiving a report of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking, MCC will provide the victim with information regarding applicable College procedures and available assistance. MCC will provide a written explanation of the victim’s rights and options as required by the Clery Act and applicable federal law.
Information provided to victims includes, as applicable:
Supportive measures and assistance may be available regardless of whether a victim chooses to report the incident to law enforcement or participate in a criminal proceeding.
Victims may have the option of seeking an order of protection, no-contact order, restraining order or similar lawful order issued by a criminal, civil or tribal court. Preserved evidence, including photographs, communications, records of repeated contact, police reports, medical records and documentation of prior incidents may be helpful when seeking such an order.
MCC will provide information regarding available options and, when requested and reasonably available, assistance in understanding how to seek applicable protective orders. MCC will comply with and enforce lawful orders of protection and similar orders to the extent required and permitted by law and within the College’s authority.
MCC may also implement College-based supportive or protective measures as appropriate. Such measures are separate from court-issued protection orders and may be available whether or not a victim reports the matter to law enforcement or participates in a criminal proceeding.
Victims are encouraged to seek assistance as soon as they are able; however, a delay in reporting does not, by itself, prevent a victim from reporting an incident to MCC or law enforcement or requesting available assistance.
If reporting parties want the details of an incident to remain confidential, they should talk to resources that can keep information private. This will not lead to any criminal charges or College-related sanctions. It also does not prevent you from reporting to law enforcement or the Title IX coordinator in the future.
Confidential support and advocacy services may include:
MCC provides supportive measures and assistance to individuals who report dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, sexual harassment or other sex-based misconduct. Supportive measures are individualized services and accommodations designed to restore or preserve access to the College’s education programs and activities, protect the safety of the parties and the College community and provide support without unreasonably burdening another party.
Supportive measures may be available regardless of whether the victim chooses to report the incident to law enforcement or pursue a formal complaint or College resolution process. MCC will work with the individual to identify available measures that are appropriate and reasonably available based on the circumstances.
Depending on the circumstances, supportive or protective measures may include academic accommodations; changes to class schedules, work assignments or work schedules; assistance with transportation or parking; campus escorts; restrictions on contact or communication; changes in College activities or organizational participation; safety planning; referrals to counseling, advocacy, medical or community resources; and other measures determined appropriate and reasonably available.
MCC will provide written notification to victims regarding available assistance and options for changes to academic, living, transportation and working situations and protective measures, when such accommodations or measures are reasonably available. A victim does not need to report an incident to law enforcement to request these accommodations or protective measures.
MCC will maintain as confidential any accommodations or protective measures provided to a victim, to the extent that maintaining such confidentiality would not impair the College’s ability to provide the accommodations or protective measures. Information will be shared only with College officials or others who need the information to implement the measure or as otherwise required by law.
In addition, MCC will complete publicly available recordkeeping, including Clery Act reporting and disclosures, without including personally identifying information about the victim. The College will not include information in the daily crime log, ASR crime statistics, timely warnings or other publicly available Clery Act disclosures that would identify a victim.
MCC will also provide information regarding available College and community resources and, when applicable, procedures for requesting institutional protective measures and information concerning orders of protection or similar lawful orders issued by a court or other authorized entity.
MCC maintains disciplinary procedures for addressing allegations of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking involving students and employees. The specific College procedure used depends on the status of the parties, the nature and circumstances of the alleged conduct and the applicability and jurisdiction of MCC policies.
Some allegations may be addressed through the College’s Title IX formal grievance process. When reported conduct does not fall within the jurisdiction of the Title IX formal grievance process, the Title IX Coordinator or other appropriate College official will determine and refer the matter to the applicable College resolution or disciplinary process. Depending on the circumstances and the status of the Respondent, this may include procedures governing student conduct, discrimination or harassment complaints, or employee conduct and discipline.
Regardless of which applicable College disciplinary procedure is used to resolve an allegation of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking, MCC will provide a prompt, fair and impartial process consistent with the requirements of the Clery Act and applicable College policy.
Upon receiving a report, the Title IX Coordinator or other appropriate College official will provide information regarding available resources, supportive measures, reporting options and applicable College procedures. Supportive measures may be available whether or not the individual chooses to initiate a formal College complaint or report the matter to law enforcement.
MCC will conduct an initial assessment to determine the nature of the allegations, the applicable College policy or procedure, whether further investigation or disciplinary action is appropriate and any immediate supportive or protective measures that should be considered.
MCC will make a good-faith effort to complete the resolution process within 60 to 90 business days, including the appeal, which may be extended as necessary for valid reasons by the Title IX coordinator. The coordinator will notify the parties of any extensions or delays, explaining the reasons and providing an estimate of the additional time needed to finish the process.
When an investigation is initiated, MCC will conduct a process that is prompt, fair and impartial. The College’s current Title IX process provides for trained investigators to conduct a prompt, thorough, reliable, equitable, fair and impartial investigation, including interviews with the Complainant, Respondent and relevant witnesses and consideration of relevant evidence.
For allegations of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking addressed under another applicable College disciplinary process, MCC will provide the procedural protections required by the Clery Act.
The proceeding will be conducted by officials who do not have a conflict of interest or bias for or against the Complainant or Respondent and who receive annual training on issues related to dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking and on how to conduct an investigation and hearing or other disciplinary process that protects the safety of victims and promotes accountability.
MCC will provide the Complainant and Respondent with timely notice of meetings at which either or both may be present and timely and equal access to information that will be used during disciplinary meetings, hearings or other resolution proceedings, consistent with applicable law and College policy.
The Complainant and Respondent will have the same opportunities to have others present during an institutional disciplinary proceeding, including the opportunity to be accompanied by an advisor of their choice at meetings and proceedings permitted under the applicable process.
Under MCC’s Title IX procedures, an advisor may be a friend, mentor, family member, attorney or another person selected by the party. MCC may establish restrictions regarding the extent to which advisors may participate in proceedings, provided those restrictions are applied equally to both parties.
MCC uses the preponderance of the evidence standard in its Title IX grievance process. Under this standard, the decision-maker determines whether the available credible evidence demonstrates that it is more likely than not that a violation of College policy occurred.
If a Respondent is found responsible for dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking, MCC may impose sanctions in accordance with the applicable student or employee disciplinary procedure. Sanctions are determined based on the circumstances of the case, including relevant aggravating and mitigating factors.
For students, sanctions may include disciplinary warning, probation, suspension, expulsion, educational requirements, restrictions, loss of privileges or other sanctions authorized under the College’s Student Conduct procedures. Employee sanctions may include disciplinary action up to and including termination, consistent with applicable College policies, procedures, employment requirements and collective bargaining agreements.
MCC may also provide or continue protective or supportive measures, as appropriate, including academic adjustments, changes to work or class schedules, campus escorts, restrictions on contact, changes in work locations, leaves of absence, increased security or monitoring and other reasonably available measures.
MCC will simultaneously notify the Complainant and Respondent in writing of the result of any institutional disciplinary proceeding arising from an allegation of dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking.
The written notification will include, as required by the Clery Act:
For purposes of this disclosure, the result includes the determination regarding responsibility, any sanction imposed that relates directly to the Complainant and the rationale for the result and sanctions as required by applicable law.
The College’s current Title IX process similarly provides written notification of the outcome to both parties without significant delay between notifications and includes appeal procedures, changes to the result before it becomes final and notice of when the result is final.
When an appeal is available under the applicable College procedure, the Complainant and Respondent will be provided equal rights and opportunities to participate in the appeal process. Under the College’s Title IX procedures, both parties are included in an appeal or reconsideration and have equal rights of participation.
Protected activity under this policy includes reporting an incident related to this policy, participating in the grievance process, supporting a Complainant or Respondent, assisting with information relevant to an investigation and/or acting in good faith to oppose conduct that violates this policy.
Acts of alleged retaliation should be reported immediately to the Title IX coordinator and will be promptly investigated.
MCC will take all necessary and appropriate steps to protect individuals who fear retaliation. MCC and any MCC community members are prohibited from taking any material adverse action by intimidating, threatening, coercing, harassing or discriminating against anyone to interfere with lawful rights or privileges, or because the person has reported, complained, testified, assisted, participated or refused to participate in any investigation, proceeding or hearing under this policy and procedure.
Exercising rights protected under the First Amendment is not considered retaliation.
Financial aid: MCC offers grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities and loans to eligible students. Details and application instructions are available at the Financial Aid Office and the College website.
Advocacy services: MCC Advocacy Services provides support and guidance when challenging circumstances or significant life events affect academics or personal life. Nonclinical advocacy counselors can also refer students to community agencies for services such as interpersonal counseling, financial aid and housing. Services are free, confidential and focused on supporting student well-being both on- and off-campus.
The MCC Police Department conducts an annual process of identifying property, determining law enforcement jurisdiction, requesting Clery Act crime statistics and following up to ensure a good-faith effort is made in collecting the required statistics. This same process is also carried out with the local law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over public areas around MCC campuses.
The chart totals in this ASR include all designated Clery Act crimes reported to campus officials and CSAs over the past three calendar years (2023, 2024 and 2025). The report also contains data from law enforcement agencies within the College’s Clery Act geography outside of each campus.

The Clery Act requires MCC to disclose the number of reported crimes that were determined to be unfounded and subsequently withheld from its Clery Act crime statistics. A crime may be classified as unfounded only when a sworn or commissioned law enforcement officer has fully investigated the reported crime and, based on the results of that investigation and available evidence, has made a formal determination that the crime report is false or baseless.
MCC does not classify a crime as unfounded merely because an investigation does not establish sufficient evidence to result in an arrest, criminal charge, or disciplinary action.
No hate crimes were reported on MCC property in 2023, 2024 or 2025.

Sexual penetration and/or sexual contact without the consent of the victim, regardless of either person’s gender, including situations where coercion, force or the threat of force was used; situations where the perpetrator knew or should have known that the victim was mentally or physically incapable of resisting or evaluating the nature of his or her conduct (i.e. mentally challenged, disabled, intoxicated, etc.); or where the perpetrator is 19 years of age or older and the victim is at least 12 but younger than 16. A victim must simply provide enough verbal or physical resistance to make the perpetrator aware of the lack of consent. Victims do not have to show continued resistance when they feel as though further resistance would be futile.
The following definitions apply:
Force or threat of force: The use of physical force which overcomes the victim’s resistance or the threat of physical force, expressed or implied, against the victim or a third person, where the threat places the victim in fear of their own death or serious personal injury, or that of a third person, and the victim reasonably believes that the perpetrator has the present or future ability to follow through with the threat.
Intimate parts: The genital area, groin, inner thighs, buttocks or breasts.
Serious personal injury: Great bodily injury or disfigurement, extreme mental anguish or mental trauma, pregnancy, disease, or loss or impairment of a sexual or reproductive organ.
Sexual contact: The intentional touching of the victim’s sexual or intimate parts, or the intentional touching of the victim’s clothing covering the immediate area of the victim’s sexual or intimate parts.
Sexual contact also means the touching, by the victim, of the perpetrator’s sexual or intimate parts, or the clothing covering the immediate area of the perpetrator’s sexual or intimate parts, when this touching is intentionally caused by the perpetrator. Sexual contact includes only that conduct which can be reasonably construed as being for the purpose of sexual arousal or gratification of either party.
Sexual penetration: Sexual intercourse in its ordinary meaning, cunnilingus, fellatio and anal intercourse. It also includes the intrusion, however slight, of any part of the perpetrator’s or victim’s body, or any object manipulated by the perpetrator, into the genital or anal openings of the victim’s body. Sexual penetration does not require emission of semen.
"Consent" means agreement, approval or permission as to some act or purpose, given voluntarily by a competent person.
"Without consent" means:
In the above text, the word "person" means the individual against whom a wrongful act was allegedly committed, and the word "actor" is the individual alleged to have committed a wrongful act. When the actor knew or should have known that a person was mentally or physically incapable of resisting or understanding the nature of his or her conduct, there is no consent. A person may be incapacitated due to intoxication, mental illness or deficiency, or by physical illness or disability to the extent that personal decision-making is impossible. Surprise may also prevent resistance, as where a person is grabbed from behind.
There are some persons who the law presumes are incapable of consenting to sexual contact or penetration by an actor by reason of their age. Under Nebraska law, an actor 19 years of age or older may not subject a person under the age of 16 years of age to sexual penetration or a person under 15 years of age to sexual contact.
A pattern of behavior where one person uses threats of, or actually uses physical, sexual, verbal or emotional abuse, to control his or her dating partner. Dating partner means any person, regardless of gender, involved in an intimate relationship with another person, primarily characterized by the expectation of affectionate/sexual involvement, whether casual (e.g., "friends with benefits"), serious or long-term. It is based on a consideration of length of relationship, type of relationship and the frequency of interaction between those involved in the relationship.
A person intentionally and knowingly causes bodily injury to his or her intimate partner, threatens an intimate partner with imminent bodily injury or threatens an intimate partner in a menacing manner. Intimate partner, regardless of gender, means a spouse, a former spouse, persons who have a child in common, whether or not they have been married or lived together at any time, and persons who are or were involved in a serious dating relationship. Serious dating relationship means frequent, intimate associations primarily characterized by the expectation of affectionate or sexual involvement. It does not include a casual relationship or an ordinary association between persons in a business or social context.
Engaging in a course of willful harassment of another person or a family or household member of such person with the intent to injure, terrify, threaten or intimidate commits the offense of stalking. Actions include, but are not limited to, deliberately following, detaining, contacting or harassing the person(s), or imposing any restraints on their personal liberty.
