Relevant Excerpt

Discriminatory harassment refers to verbal, written, visual, or physical conduct based on or motivated by an individual’s actual or perceived protected characteristic or activity as described in Section III of this policy. 

Discriminatory harassment is unwelcome conduct or behavior on the basis of actual or perceived protected characteristic(s) that based on the totality of the circumstances, is subjectively and objectively offensive, and is sufficiently severe, pervasive, or persistent that it limits or denies an individual’s ability to participate in or benefit from the college’s education program or activity.
