Sexual Harassment
Sexual Harassment is unwelcome verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature that includes, but is not limited to, sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and any other conduct of a sexual nature where:
• Submission to, or rejection of, the conduct is explicitly or implicitly used as the basis for any decision affecting a student’s academic status or progress or
access to benefits and services, honors, programs, or activities available at or through the University; or
• Such conduct is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that its effect, whether or not intended, could be considered by a reasonable person in
the shoes of the student and is considered by the student as limiting the student’s ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities or
opportunities offered by the University; or
• Submission to, or rejection of, the conduct by a University employee is explicitly or implicitly used as the basis for any decision affecting a term or
condition of employment, or an employment decision or action; or
• Such conduct is sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that its effect, whether or not intended, could be considered by a reasonable person in the
shoes of the University employee or third party and is, in fact, considered by the University employee or third party, as intimidating, hostile or offensive.
Sexual Harassment could include being forced to engage in unwanted sexual contact as a condition of membership in a student organization, being subjected to
video exploitation or a campaign of sexual explicit graffiti, or frequently being exposed to unwanted images of a sexual nature in a classroom that is unrelated to
he coursework.
Sexual Harassment also includes acts of verbal, non-verbal, or physical aggression, intimidation, or hostility based on Gender or sex stereotyping, even if those
acts do not involve conduct of a sexual nature.
This policy covers unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature. While romantic, sexual, intimate, personal, or social relationships between members of the University
community may begin as consensual, they may evolve into situations that lead to Sexual Harassment or Sexual Misconduct, including Dating or Domestic Violence,
Stalking, subject to this policy.
The University is required to designate a Title IX Coordinator to monitor and oversee overall Title IX compliance.
