Harassment Policy

Relevant Excerpt

Student Involved Harassment not of a Sexual Nature: When a student is accused of harassment that is not of a sexual nature, the following definition applies:

• Unwelcome abusive or hostile behavior;
• That is discriminatory on the basis of a legally protected class; and
• Is sufficiently severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive, and that so undermines and detracts from the Complaint's education or other University experience, that the Complainant is effectively denied access to the University's resources and opportunities. The unwelcome conduct will be viewed on the basis of a reasonable person under similar circumstances and with similar identities as the Complainant, but not simply the particular sensitivity or reaction of the Complainant.
