ANTI-DISCRIMINATION AND DIVERSITY POLICY Beauty Schools of America ® (BSA) is committed to a policy of non-discrimination and equal opportunity for all individuals regardless of race, color, gender, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, ethnic background, genetic information, or any other protected status. This policy is included but not limited to the admissions process, instruction of students and graduation policies. BSA encourages cultural and ethnic diversity in its student body, faculty and staff. Congruent with the requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to The Civil Rights Act of 1972, BSA does not discriminate on the basis of sex in vocational programs, including job placement and admissions. STUDENT DISABILITY Beauty Schools of America ® complies with all provisions under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in that no qualified handicapped person by reason of their handicap will be excluded from enrolling. However, any handicapped person seeking admission should be aware that all programs require a high level of visual and manual dexterity and coordination. An individual evaluation will be necessary to determine employability in the beauty industry. Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis considering the limitations caused by the disability in relationship to the academic demands and responsibilities of student life at Beauty Schools of America ® . Common academic accommodations made by BSA include: • Extended time allowed for examinations • Computer access for examinations • Distraction-reduced testing locations • Additional time for written assignments • Classroom note takers • Books on tape or in electronic format • Sign language interpreters ANTI-HAZING POLICY Hazing is defined as any action taken or situation created, with or without the consent of the other person, which produces mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, ridicule or places that person at a substantial risk of bodily injury. In the State of Florida, hazing is criminal offense and is considered a third degree felony. Additionally, any activity that sets an individual apart without constructive purpose shall be considered hazing. Actions considered as hazing may include, but are not limited to: • Engaging in any offensive or dangerous physical contact, restraint, abduction, or isolation of a student • Requiring or encouraging a student to perform any dangerous, painful, offensive, demeaning physical or verbal act, including the ingestion of any substance, inappropriate exposure to the elements, deprivation of sleep or rest, or extensive isolation • Subjecting a student to any dangerous, painful, harmful, offensive, or demeaning conduct, or other forced activity that could adversely affect the mental health of the student. • Kidnapping, including restricting a person to move about freely • Performing personal chores or errands Any student who believes he/she has been a victim of hazing by another student should immediately report any alleged acts to school officials. GRIEVANCE POLICY In a training environment much like a work environment, miscommunication occurs from time to time. The student(s) is/are required to make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute with the respondent. Complaints should be presented orally to the appropriate school officials. Should such a resolution be impossible, the student may pursue the following steps if he/she wishes to file a grievance. A written statement of the complaint will be requested. A written statement should contain the following: • The exact nature and details of the facts at issue • The date, time, and place of the incident • The names of witnesses or persons who have knowledge of the alleged act(s) • Any available written documentation and/or evidence that is relevant to the grievance The Campus Director will review and schedule a personal appointment at the earliest possible date to discuss the questions in a confidential manner. In the event that there is no satisfactory resolution, students can submit an appeal of the Campus Director’s decision to the school President in writing, which shall include the reasons for the appeal, and state what action is requested to remedy the matter. The President will schedule a personal appointment at the earliest possible date, to discuss the matter in question in a confidential manner. In the event that the matter is not resolved, the grievance will be reviewed by the schools Appeal Panel. It should be noted that the schools President, Executive Staff, Administration and Faculty believe that our mission is to instruct all students, in a manner consistent with the highest educational standards achievable, as well as to promote effective communication during any dispute, grievance, or difference of opinion. Should the process listed above not fully result in the resolution of a grievance, the student has the right to contact the State Licensing Board and/or the Accredited Agency listed on the About The School section (Accreditations / Licenses / Approvals / Memberships) of this catalog. Working together toward the success of each student is the primary mission of our educational program. 42 B E A U T Y S C H O O L S O F A M E R I C A ®
