From our concern for their emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, we also will respond to sexually active students by initiating and fostering open communication between the students and those adults in the students' lives who may be helpful to them. Student couples are encouraged to make responsible choices regarding sexuality. When they are together in public, however, they have a responsibility to others as well as to themselves to conduct themselves appropriately. Public displays of affection are unacceptable when they embarrass or make others uncomfortable. Examples of such behaviors include, but are not limited to, extended kissing or hugging, lying or sitting together inappropriately, and placing hands on each other in inappropriate ways.
Sexual harassment is unacceptable.
Sexual harassment is unwanted sexual attention that makes a person uncomfortable or causes problems in school, work, or in social settings. Students who have complaints of sexual harassment should report them immediately to the dean of students. Complaints will be considered confidential, and each complaint will be thoroughly investigated. If the evidence supports the allegation that sexual harassment has occurred, corrective action, including the possibility of dismissal, will be taken.
