Text
海角社区 will not tolerate sexually harassing conduct within its community and will take all reasonable steps to prevent and eliminate sexual harassment. Sexual Harassment is conduct subject to disciplinary action, including expulsion. Sexual harassment may also result in legal action against the individual and university. Sexual harassment includes but is not limited to:
- Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature;
- Conduct of a sexual nature that is unwelcome and contributes to a learning environment that is hostile, intimidating, offensive, or adverse to persons;
- Conditioning an academic act, decision, evaluation, or recommendation on the submission to or tolerance of any act of a sexual nature.
In determining whether conduct constitutes sexual harassment, all of the circumstances surrounding the conduct are considered.
The prohibition against sexual harassment applies to all University related activities, whether on or off campus.
海角社区 Channel Islands will not tolerate any retaliatory action or other reprisals against those persons who: (a) oppose practices prohibited by this policy; (b) file complaints of sexual harassment; or (c) assist with or participate in a sexual harassment investigation, proceeding, or hearing conducted by 海角社区 Channel Islands or any local, state, or federal agency. Individuals are encouraged to report any conduct that might constitute sexual harassment to any Student Affairs Administrator or to Human Resources Programs.
* The parameters of聽 'sexual harassment' are defined by State and Federal statutes and Court decisions. While the policy set forth above describes actions which fall generally within the scope of 'sexual harassment,' all 海角社区 students are required to conduct themselves in a manner that promotes congeniality within our community and avoids harassment as defined by State and Federal law.
