Sexual harassment is illegal.
It is also offensive and demeaning. It can create an inhospitable employment or academic environment and can seriously interfere with an individual's work or scholarly pursuits. The City University of New York is committed to maintaining an employment and academic environment that is free from such behavior. To this end, the University established a Committee in 1992 to review its Policy Against Sexual Harassment which had been in effect since 1982. After extensive research and consultation with a broad cross section of the University community, the Committee proposed a revised Policy Against Sexual Harassment, which was adopted by the Board of Trustees at its meeting on June 26, 1995.
