What is Unlawful Harassment?

• It is unwelcome;
• It is offensive to both recipient and a “reasonable person;”
• It unreasonably interferes with work performance or academic progress;
• It mocks or shows hostility toward a person because of a characteristic that is protected;
• It is judged under the same standards of unwelcome, severe, or pervasive.

Examples of Unlawful Harassment

• Using racial, ethnic, gender slurs, reinforcing negative stereotypes;
• jokes or pranks based on protected characteristic;
• intimidating, threatening, or hostile acts related to a protected characteristic;
• or circulating any material that mocks, demeans, or shows hostility toward an individual or a group based on a protected characteristic.

Once there is notice of possible harassment, we will...

• investigate;
• take prompt effective action to end the harassment;
• remedy the effects;
• and take action to reasonably prevent the recurrence; and do so in a prompt, equitable, and effective manner.
