Federal law1 provides
that it shall be unlawful, discriminatory practice for any employer,
because of the sex of any person, to discharge without just cause, to
refuse to hire, or otherwise discriminate against any person with respect
to any matter directly or indirectly related to employment or academic
standing. Harassment of an employee on the basis of sex violates this
federal law.
Sexual harassment of
employees or students in the University System is prohibited and shall
subject the offender to dismissal or other sanctions after compliance with
procedural due process requirements. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests
for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature
constitutes sexual harassment when:
-
Submission to such conduct is made explicitly or
implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment or academic
standing; or
-
Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an
individual is used as a basis for employment or academic decisions
affecting an individual; or
-
Such conduct unreasonably interferes with an individual’s
work or academic performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or
offensive work or academic environment.
A student who feels subjected
to any type of sexual harassment should consult with the Director of
Student Development or the Vice President of Student and Enrollment
Services.
