Sexual Misconduct Policy
PB Cosmetology Education Centre is committed to providing a working and educational environment for all
students, faculty and staff that is free from sex discrimination, including sexual misconduct. Sexual assault, sexual
harassment and sexual exploitation, stalking, domestic violence, and dating violence are all forms of sexual
misconduct. Every member of the school community should be aware that the school is strongly opposed to sexual
misconduct, and that such behavior is prohibited by state and federal laws.

The PB Cosmetology Sexual Misconduct Policy describes the school’s programs to prevent sexual misconduct, and
the procedures that the school will follow once an incident of sexual misconduct has been reported. This Policy is
disseminated widely to the school community through publications, the school’s website, new employee orientations
and student orientations and other appropriate channels of communication. Copies of the policy can be obtained
from the Director on site or by calling 856-456-4927 or from the school’s website at www.pbbeautyschool.com. PB
Cosmetology provides training to key staff members to enable the school to handle any allegations of sexual
misconduct promptly and effectively. The school will respond quickly to all reports of sexual misconduct, and will
take appropriate action to prevent, to correct, and if necessary, to discipline behavior that violates this policy.

PB Cosmetology’s Sexual Misconduct Policy governs sexual misconduct involving students that occurs on any
school property or in connection with any school sponsored program or event. This Policy applies to all students,
employees, and third parties conducting business with the school, regardless of the person’s gender, gender identity,
sexual orientation, age, race, nationality, class status, ability, religion or other protected status. PB Cosmetology
encourages victims of sexual violence to talk to somebody about what happened-so victims can get the support they
need, and so the school can respond appropriately. As further described in the Policy, the school will seek to respect
a victim’s request for confidentiality to the extent possible, while remaining ever mindful of the victim’s wellbeing.

Information for Crime Victim about Disciplinary hearings:
Institution shall upon written request disclose to the alleged victim of any crime of violence, or sexual misconduct,
the results of any disciplinary proceeding conducted by the institution against a student who is the alleged
perpetrator of such crime or offense. If the alleged victim is deceased as a result of the crime or offense, the
information shall be provided upon request to the next of kin of the alleged victim. This provision applies to any
disciplinary proceeding conducted by the institution on or after August 14, 2009 (HEOA amendment).

Drug and Alcohol Abuse Information:
Following you will find the requirements of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989,
Public 101-226 and what PB Cosmetology requires of Staff and Students.

Staff and Students are prohibited from the unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession, or use of illicit drugs or
alcohol. This prohibition applies while on the property of the school or participating in any institutional activity.
Students or employees who violate this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion or
termination from school or employment.

Additionally, there are numerous local, state, and federal laws, which can be used to punish violators. Penalties can
range from suspension revocation and/or denial of a driver’s license, to 20-50 years’ imprisonment at hard labor
without benefit of parole. Property may also be seized. Community service may also be mandated.

Students could lose eligibility for financial aid, could be denied other federal benefits, such as Social Security,
retirement, Welfare, health care benefits, disability and Veterans benefits. Public housing residents could also be
evicted. Finally, a record of a felony or conviction in a drug related crime may prevent a person from entering a
certain career.

Drugs can be highly addictive and injurious to the body as well as one’s self. People tend to lose their senses and
responsibility and coordination.
