Sexual Harassment

Harassment of any student or staff member on the basis of sex shall be considered a violation of College policy. Conduct involving unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature shall be considered to constitute sexual harassment.

Any behavior that represents repeated or unwanted sexual attention that is made a condition of reward or penalty is prohibited. In determining whether alleged behavior constitutes sexual harassment, the College will examine the record as a whole and all aspects or circumstances, such as the nature of sexual advances and the context in which the alleged incidents occurred.

Students or employees who feel they have been a victim of sexual harassment should contact the Vice President of Student Affairs, Vice President of Academic Affairs, the President, or his designee. The alleged victim will be advised of their rights and grievance process policies and procedures. They will also be advised of external resources and the option for notifying campus security and local law enforcement authorities.
