Executive Order No. 81: Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct- Definitions of Prohibited Conduct Under This Order (Non Title IX)

Relevant Excerpt

Discriminatory Harassment—Unwelcome conduct based on an individual’s actual or perceived protected characteristics that is so severe, pervasive, or persistent that a reasonable person would find it limits or interferes with the individual’s access to University programs or activities, or adversely affects the conditions of the individual’s University employment. Discriminatory harassment, as defined by this order, does not include conduct that falls under this order’s definition of sexual harassment.

Sexual Harassment—Sexual harassment under this order includes both conduct that constitutes sexual harassment under federal Title IX regulations and other forms of sex-based conduct that violate University standards, whether or not they fall within the jurisdictional scope of Title IX. All such conduct is prohibited and may result in University action. ....

• Other Sexual Harassment (Non Title IX)—Unwelcome conduct on the basis of sex that does not meet the Title IX definition and is objectively offensive and so severe or pervasive that it unreasonably interferes with, limits, or effectively denies a person’s ability to participate in or benefit from a University program or activity, or otherwise adversely affects the terms and conditions of a person’s University employment.
