Relevant Excerpt

Harassment: The definition of this type of Discrimination depends on the setting and the parties involved, as follows: 

...

Hostile Environment/Discriminatory Harassment by Students or Visitors. Conduct by a student directed towards another student that:
1. is unwelcome;
2. on the basis of a Protected Category; and
3. is sufficiently serious to deny or limit ability to participate in, benefit from, or have
access to University benefits, programs, or activities.
4. If the alleged discrimination or harassment arises solely from student on student
speech, the University may take disciplinary action when the speech: (1) is unwelcome; (2) discriminates on the basis of a classification protected under federal or state law; and (3) is so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive, and that so undermines and distracts from a student’s educational experience, that the student is effectively denied access to the University’s resources and opportunities.
