of sex prominently on its website and in electronic and printed publications of general
distribution. Campuses must also post the notice in a prominent location on campus,
such as in the main administration building or other locations where other notices
regarding campus rules, regulations, procedures and standards of conduct are posted.
The notice should make clear what kind of conduct constitutes sexual discrimination,
including sexual harassment and violence, and that such conduct is prohibited sex
discrimination. ..."Sexual Harassment" is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that includes, but
is not limited to: sexual violence; sexual advances; requests for sexual favors;
indecent exposure; and other verbal, nonverbal or physical unwelcome conduct of
a sexual nature, where such conduct is sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive
that its effect, whether or not intended, could be considered by a reasonable
person in the shoes of the individual, and is in fact considered by the individual,
as limiting the individual’s ability to participate in or benefit from the services,
activities or opportunities offered by the university. Sexual harassment also
includes gender-based harassment, which may include acts of verbal, non-verbal
or physical aggression, intimidation or hostility based on sex or sex-stereotyping,
even if those acts do not involve conduct of a sexual nature.

whether or not intended, could be considered by a reasonable person in the
shoes of the Student, and is in fact considered by the Student, as limiting the
Student’s ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities or
opportunities offered by the University.

the educational process. Universities have a special obligation not only to tolerate
but also to encourage and support the free expression of ideas, values and
opinions, even where they may be unpopular or controversial. California State
University, East Bay (herein after the University) accepts and embraces this
obligation, recognizing that such expression may take a variety of forms, such as
speeches, signs, written materials, public assemblies, parades, demonstrations and
artistic representation.
