Campus Violence Policy
CVTC is committed to providing everyone with an environment that is safe, secure, and free from threats, intimidation, and violence. All threats and acts of aggressive or violent behavior are to be taken seriously. It is the responsibility of every student and every employee to immediately report all threats, acts of intimidation, harassment, violence (physical and verbal), and any other questionable behavior.
CVTC views aggressive and/or violent behavior as disruptive and contrary to the development and maintenance of a safe, productive, and supportive learning environment. Such behavior will not be tolerated. Any person who exhibits such behavior will be held accountable under College policy, as well as local, state, and federal law. Any student who commits a violent act or threatens to commit a violent act towards other persons or property will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
Weapons Possession Policy
Chippewa Valley Technical College is committed to upholding all local, state, and federal laws concerning the use, concealment, creation, manufacture, and/or possession of weapons and/or potentially dangerous devices, as defined by Wisconsin State Statutes Chapter 941.

Possession of a valid concealed weapons permit authorized by the State of Wisconsin is not an exemption under this policy. Instruments or chemicals expressly authorized for the pursuit of the academic mission of the College and used in an authorized manner with that academic mission by sworn law enforcement and on-duty military personnel, students and employees are the only exemptions permitted under this policy.
