It is the policy of the University that all employees should enjoy a working environment free from all from of discrimination, including sexual harassment. No employee, either male or female, should be subjected to unsolicited and unwelcome sexual overtures or conduct, either verbal or physical.
Sexual harassment lowers morale and is damaging to the work environment.
Therefore, the University will treat sexual harassment like any other form of employee misconduct. It will not be tolerated. The University will enforce disciplinary action, up to and including discharge, against any person who threatens or insinuates, either explicitly or implicitly, that an employee s refusal to submit to sexual advances will adversely affect the employee s employment, evaluation, wages, advancement, assigned duties, shifts, or any condition of employment or career development. The University recognizes that the question of whether a particular action or incident is a purely personal, social relationship with out a discriminatory employment effect requires a factual determination based on all facts in each case. Therefore, the University will act positively to investigate alleged sexual harassment claims and take steps to effectively remedy them when an allegation is determined to be valid.
