Sexual harassment in any form shall not be tolerated at Seton Hall University. It is a form of sexual discrimination prohibited by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. All members of the University community have an obligation to take appropriate action to eliminate sexual harassment. This includes those members of the University community who are involved in the University's extension and off-campus programs, such as Cooperative Education, internships, clinicals, practicums, student teaching etc. This policy does not replace or supersede an individual's rights and remedies under the law.
Sexual harassment manifests itself in several forms.
In furtherance of its goal to eliminate sexual harassment, Seton Hall has created a University Council Against Sexual Harassment. The Council may, in writing, make recommended findings of fact and propose sanctions. Confidentiality to all parties will be provided to the extent possible and in accordance with the law. The Council shall make and maintain appropriate records. The University Council Against Sexual Harassment is not empowered to make binding determinations of facts and impose sanctions.
