University of North Carolina - Greensboro

UNCG will not tolerate any harassment of, discrimination against, or disrespect for persons. UNCG is committed to equal opportunity in education and employment for all persons regardless of race, color, creed, religion, gender, age, national origin, disability, military veteran status, political affiliation or sexual orientation.

Facts will be judged on the basis of what is reasonable to persons of ordinary sensitivity and not on the particular susceptibility of an individual, unless that susceptibility is known to the alleged harasser.

Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal and physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute "environmental sexual harassment" when such conduct has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment which unreasonably interferes with another's work, academic performances, or privacy. Environmental harassment can inflict emotional and psychological harm on individuals and can make relationships and the work or study environment unpleasant, threatening and unproductive. However, there is no requirement that evidence of actual emotional or psychological harm be shown in order for environmental sexual harassment to be found to have occurred.

Violations of Respect may include but are not limited to:
Threatening or causing physical harm or harassment;
[...]
conduct which disturbs the peace of the community; [...]
conduct which is disorderly; infringement on the rights or property of members of the University community;
[...] any act or omission that a reasonable, intelligent college student knows, or should know, infringes on the rights or property of members of the University community.

(2) All students shall be responsible for conducting themselves in a manner that helps to enhance an environment of learning in which the rights, dignity, worth, and freedom of each member of the academic community are respected.

Students and employees are responsible for exercising good judgment regarding the use of technology and information systems. Use of these systems is permitted, with the following restrictions:
[...]
The use is not prohibited by Board of Governors or University policies, including rules regarding academic integrity, harassment (including sexual harassment), and discrimination on the basis of any federally protected characteristic or sexual orientation.

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro values freedom of speech as one of the fundamental rights guaranteed
by the U. S. Constitution and as the best means for arriving at truth and mutual understanding. Peaceable assembly and
the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances are also rights guaranteed by the First Amendment and
are concomitant to the right of free speech. Therefore, UNCG is committed to making the majority of its outdoor
spaces available to members of the University community and invited guests for purposes of speech, assembly, and
petitioning activities, except as may be necessary to protect its property and to avoid interference with scheduled
activities of students, University personnel, and invited guests.
