Sexual harassment can occur between any two individuals.
Although sexual harassment typically occurs when one person is in a position of power over another, it can also occur among peers. Sexual harassment can also occur if a supervisor or faculty member grants special favors or opportunities to a person with whom they are having a sexual relationship, but does not grant similarly equal opportunities or advantages to other persons. Sexual harassment may also occur, in some cases, if employees of contractors or vendors performing services or doing business with the university engage in harassing conduct.
