Mesa State prohibits behavior based upon another’s status that has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working or educational environment. Status refers to race, color, national origin, religion, age, disability, or veteran status. Sometimes discriminatory harassment is intentional and meant to be offensive. Often it is less obvious, yet equally offensive. Behaviors that may constitute discriminatory harassment include, but are not limited to:
1. Racial, ethnic, or other slurs
2. Malicious name calling
3. Anonymous notes or phone calls
4. Derogatory graffiti
5. Stereotyping the experiences, background, and skills of individuals or groups
6. Threatening members of diverse groups
7. Making inconsiderate or mean spirited jokes
8. Imitating stereotypes in speech or mannerisms
9. Preventing access to any College resource or activity
10. Attributing objections to any of the above to "hypersensitivity" of the targeted individual group

The behavior must satisfy these three (3) legal requirements. The behavior must be:

1. Unwanted;

2. Unsolicited (prior behavior and dress are not indications or solicitations);

3. Deliberate (it is important to understand that sexual harassment need not be
repeated. A one time only offense may constitute harassment).

Sexual Harassment can be defined as un-welcomed sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature, made by
someone from or in the work or educational setting, under any of the following
circumstances: [...] Offensive and unwelcome invitations to sexual activity not accompanied by threat
of punishment or promise of reward; or Verbal abuse of a sexual nature including graphic commentaries about an
individual’s body and/or sexually degrading words used to describe an individual,
unwelcome and offensive sexual flirtations, advances, propositions; and the
display in the classroom, office or work place of sexually suggestive objects or
pictures for other than an educational purpose.

Sexual harassment is defined as any unwelcome sexual advances,
request for sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature,
emanating from another student, staff or faculty member, when the behavior is
unwanted, unsolicited, and deliberate.

Harassment can be construed from any intimidating behavior to individuals feeling uncomfortable with behaviors of others. Any harassment that is harmful to other individuals is prohibited on campus.

No advertisement that promotes, in the judgment of College Center staff, obscenity, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, discriminatory content, illegal activities or declaration policies that endanger people or property and other improper declarations, publications, events, etc., will be approved.
