Discriminatory harassment, as defined herein, is prohibited and offenders are subject to disciplinary action. Speech or other expression constitutes discriminatory harassment under any of the following circumstances. a) If it:
1) is intended to insult an individual on the basis of race, ethnicity, color national origin, creed, religion, ancestry, age, handicap or sexual orientation, and
2) is addressed directly to the individual whom it insults, and
3) amounts to "fighting words."
"Fighting words" are those personally abusive epithets which, when directly addressed to any ordinary person are, in the context used and as a matter of common knowledge, inherently likely to provoke a violent reaction, whether or not they actually do so. Such words include, but are not limited to derogatory references to the personal characteristics described in Section 1 above.

Sexual harassment includes any behavior of a sexual nature where: [...] such conduct is intended to or would objectively be regarded by a reasonable person as unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work, academic performance in a course or program, or participation in an activity, or of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working or educational environment.

Depending on the particular circumstances, sexual harassment may include, but is not limited to, the following: [...] # The use or display in the classroom or workplace, including electronic, of pornographic or sexually harassing materials such as posters, photos, cartoons or graffiti without pedagogical justification.
# Unwelcome sexual advances, repeated propositions or requests for a sexual relationship to an individual who has previously indicated that such conduct is unwelcome, or sexual gestures, noises, remarks, jokes, questions, or comments about a person's sexuality or sexual experience. Such speech or conduct must be directed against another and either abusive or humiliating, or it must persist despite the objection of the person targeted by the speech or conduct. Such conduct between peers must be sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an educational or working environment that would reasonably be perceived as hostile or abusive. A single incident involving severe misconduct may rise to the level of harassment.

3. Obscene or indecent behavior, which includes, but is not limited to, indecent exposure or the display of sexual behavior that would reasonably be offensive to others.

2. Conduct of a sexual nature that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive campus, educational or working environment for another person. This includes unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors, inappropriate sexual or gender-based activities, comments or gestures, or other forms of verbal or physical conduct or communications constituting sexual harassment.

1. Conduct (not of a sexual nature) that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive campus,
educational or work environment for another person or group.
2. Conduct (not of a sexual nature) that threatens, intimidates, humiliates, or otherwise harms another person or group.

A bias incident is an offense occurring against a person or property motivated by race, ethnic origin, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, or disability which is unlawful but not criminal. Bias incidents include name calling, offensive language, and inappropriate behavior or gestures.

Decorations should be of such a nature that they
would be a credit to the individual, the hall and the University. The appearance of the hall to the public – from the outside – depends on “window housekeeping.” Anything visible through the window should be in good taste. Residence hall staff maintains the right to remove posters, signs, etc.,
from student room doors, windows and/or corridor
walls if they are deemed offensive.

The University will not approve any information that is
deemed to be racist, homophobic, sexist, indecent,
scandalous, illegal, inciting or in any way oppressive
in nature.

By registering a flyer, a student organization agrees to abide by the following: [...] No material will be approved for posting that discriminates on the basis of race, age, color, religion, creed, national origin, marital status, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation or disability. [...] It is expected that all poster/flyers conform with generally accepted standards of good taste.
