University control. "Fighting words" are those personally abusive

inherently likely to provoke an immediate and violent reaction,
whether or not they actually do so. Such expressions include, but
are not limited to, those terms or gestures widely recognized to
be derogatory references to race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual
orientation, disability, and other personal characteristics.
Social Equity & Diversity Policy Preventing Sexual Harassment and Sex Discrimination 11-12
the federal agency responsible for enforcing Title VII of the Civil Rights Act,
defines sexual harassment as: "Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature
constitutes sexual harassment when: ... Such conduct has the effect of interfering with the individual’s
work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive
working environment.
(1999), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that in order to constitute
sex discrimination in violation of Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972, the harassment must be �so severe,
pervasive and objectively offensive that it can be said to deprive
the victim’s access to the educational opportunities or benefits
provided by the school.
