Student Life Handbook: Harassment Policy 08-09

MSOE intends to provide an environment free from all forms of
harassment or intimidation based on age, race, gender, creed, color,
disability, marital status, veteran’s status, national origin, ancestry or
sexual orientation.

Harassment may occur whenever unwelcome conduct, comments, teasing, joking, or intimidation derived from any of these bases interferes with work or study or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment.
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other
verbal, visual or physical conduct of a sexual nature also are serious
violations of this policy and are prohibited.... More detailed
information as to actions and behaviors that might constitute “sexual
harassment” can be obtained from the Student Life Office and/or the
Human Resources Department.
We are aware that conduct, comments or behavior that might be offensive to some individuals might be considered inoffensive by others. Because of this, it is sometimes difficult for administrators, managers or supervisors to learn of and take effective action to halt harassment unless the affected individual alerts an administrator, manager or supervisor both to the occurrence and the fact that the conduct is offensive or unwanted.

Other Speech Codes

Student Life Handbook: Policy Regarding On-Campus Religious Activities 08-09

No matter how worthy the cause or idealistic the motive, evangelizing efforts and/or “spiritual
recruitment” activities that are uninvited, and that are aggressive and persistent to a degree that
is unacceptable and unwelcome, cannot be condoned. Moreover, no individual or organization,
either internal or external to the university, may carry on activities on campus the specific
purpose of which is to “proselytize” – that is, to make converts of – members of the campus
community to a specific church or religious affiliation.
