Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC) is a public community college in Coos Bay, Oregon. It is Oregon's 2nd oldest community college, founded in 1961.[1]

History

Founded in 1961, the college originally served Coos County and western Douglas County. In 1995, Curry County joined the district.[1]

Controversy

On July 9, 2022, it was reported that SWOCC was ordered to pay $1.7 million in damages to Nicole Gililland. This came as a result of SWOCC professor Melissa Sperry arbitrarily changing Gililland’s grades, singling her out for punishment and shortening her assignment deadlines, stemming from Gililland’s past involvement in the adult industry.[3]

Court documents from Nicole Gililland’s case also revealed a pattern of toxic behavior from the Southwestern Oregon Community College faculty with some of their lecturers openly ridiculing students for their physical appearance and one student being mocked by a member of faculty for her Eastern European accent.[4]
