It includes:
a. Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment, Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, or Stalking as defined above, that occurs outside of the College’s Education Programs or Activities or outside the United States;
b. Unwelcome conduct that does not rise to the level of Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment, as defined in this Policy, but that:
• is sufficiently serious (severe, pervasive, or persistent) or objectively offensive so as to deny or limit a person's ability to participate in or benefit from the College's programs, services, opportunities, or activities; or
• that has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work or academic performance.
