Connections Handbook: Sexual Harassment Policy and Procedures 08-09
Hostile Environment. This is harassing conduct, which unreasonably interferes
with an individual’s work or creates a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work or
learning environment. The “hostile work or learning environment” form of sexual
harassment may include offensive language, jokes, gestures, comments, pictures,
calendars, or graffiti. In order to determine whether a hostile environment exists,
the standard applied by the Sexual Harassment Grievance Council shall be what
type of conduct a “reasonable person” would think is offensive, intimidating, or
hostile.
The key to making the determination that behavior is sexual
harassment is whether the conduct is welcome and whether the conduct is sexual in
nature. Sexual harassment may include, but is not limited to:
· Physical, including unwelcome touching or gesturing
· Verbal, including unwelcome requests for a date or sexual favors, lewd remarks,
or sounds
· Visual, including unwelcome exposure to sexual photos, cartoons, or drawings
The law defines sexual harassment as any unwelcome sexual advances or requests for
sexual favors or any conduct of a sexual nature when:
[...]
· Such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an
individual’s work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive
working or learning environment.
Connections Handbook: Student Code of Conduct- Threats and Endangerment 08-09
