Definitions of Sexual Harassment and Retaliation This policy includes a broad range of behaviors, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and retaliation. If you have any questions about the definition or application of any of these terms, the policy in general, or the resources available to you as a member of Signature Healthcare, please contact the Program Coordinator or Clinical Director (listed above). Sexual Harassment is defined as conduct that must satisfy one or more of the following: a. Hostile environment sexual harassment: Unwelcome conduct determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectionably offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to an education program or activity; b. Quid pro quo sexual harassment: An employee conditioning the provision of an aid, benefit, or service of the educational program on an individual’s participation in unwelcome sexual conduct; and c. Sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking, as defined below. Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment Signature Healthcare considers a variety of factors related to the objective offensiveness, pervasiveness, and severity of the sex-based harassment, including: (1) the type, frequency, and duration of the conduct; (2) the identity and relationships of persons involved; (3) the number of individuals involved; (4) the location of the conduct and the context in which it occurred; and, (5) the degree to which the conduct affected one’s employment or educational opportunities.
