Sexual harassment undermines these ideals as well as the University’s overall mission as an educational institution. Student employees have a right to an educational and/or employment setting that is free from sexual harassment.

Sexual Harassment is conduct, including physical contact, advances, and comments in person and/or via phone, text message, email, or other electronic medium, that is (a) unwelcome; (b) based on sex or gender stereotypes; and (c) is so severe or pervasive that it unreasonably interferes with a person’s academic performance or equal opportunity to participate in or benefit from University programs or activities.

Examples

Examples of sexual harassment in the workplace are unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature such as:

• Unwelcome touching, kissing, hugging, or massaging;
• Belittling remarks about a person’s gender, or belittling remarks about a person’s sexual orientation based on gender-stereotyping; or
• Inappropriate sexual innuendos or humor
