The University strictly prohibits any form of harassment by or against any faculty member, staff member, and student, applicant for employment, customer, third-party contractor, guest, or visitor (collectively the University Community). It is a violation of this policy to retaliate against any member of the University Community who reports or assists in making a complaint of harassment or who participates in the investigation of a complaint in any way.
Harassment is written, verbal or physical conduct that degrades or shows hostility or aversion toward an individual because of his/her protected status (age, gender, color, race, religion, disability, veteran's status, national origin, ancestry, or any other protected status under federal, state, or local law) that (i) has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work or learning environment; (ii) has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work or academic performance; or (iii) otherwise adversely affects an individual's employment or academic opportunities.
