It is, therefore, in our best interest to rid the campus of sexual harassment. We have a collective responsibility to do so, thereby promoting an environment that better supports excellence in teaching, research, and service. The purpose of this website is to provide members of the community with an understanding of basic definitions, legal mandates, consequences, and measures for preventing and dealing with sexual harassment. Although there are many types of prohibited harassment defined by law and university policy, this website focuses on sexual harassment. Information about other types of prohibited harassment can be found in other materials provided by the Equity and Diversity Resource Center.
Sexual harassment is a community concern.
Our obligations to avoid and prevent sexual harassment within each professional setting are closely parallel, but not always identical. Each of us has a duty to act responsibly when confronted with the issue of sexual harassment. We cannot tolerate harassment of any member of the community, regardless of position or status. This website will provide information about what you are expected to do, guidelines for acting appropriately and responsibly, and resources to contact. Web Design by University Publications.
