For general policy purposes, sexual harassment may be described as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, harassment due to sexual preference or orientation, and other physical and verbal behavior of a sexual nature where:
• Submission to sexual conduct is made either an explicit or implicit term or condition of an individual’s employment or education;
• Submission to or rejection of sexual conduct is made by an individual as the basis for academic or employment decisions affecting that individual; or
• When sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature have the purpose or effect of unreasonable interference with an individual’s academic or professional performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or demeaning employment or educational environment.
Any student, employee, or job applicant who feels he or she has been sexually harassed should promptly report such incidents without fear of reprisal. All such reports, whether written or made orally, will be seriously reviewed. Confidentiality will be maintained to the extent possible.
The circumstances, the nature, and the context in which the sexual harassment allegedly occurred will be investigated. The Executive Vice President is responsible for investigating and resolving complaints of sexual harassment involving students. The Director of Human Resource Services is responsible for resolving complaints of sexual harassment involving employees.
