Harassment It is important that university faculty and staff enjoy an environment free from implicit and explicit behavior used to control, influence, or affect the well-being of any member of our community. Harassment of any individual based on race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, color, religion, national origin, age, disability unrelated to job performance, veteran status, or genetic information is unacceptable and grounds for disciplinary action, and also constitutes a violation of federal or state law. Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination. Sexual Harassment is any unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual favors, or other unwanted conduct of a sexual nature, whether verbal, non-verbal, graphic, physical, or otherwise, when the conditions outlined in (a) and/or (b), below, are present. Gender-based harassment includes harassment based on gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity, which may include acts of aggression, intimidation, or hostility, whether verbal or non- verbal, graphic, physical, or otherwise, even if the acts do not involve conduct of a sexual nature, when the conditions outlined in (a) and/or (b), below, are present.
