Student Handbook: Code of Student Conduct- Discriminatory Harassment

Relevant Excerpt

The term “discriminatory harassment” refers to intentional behavior, including but not limited to written, electronic, verbal, or physical acts that denigrate or show hostility toward an individual on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion, age, genetic information, disability, protected veteran status or any other applicable legally protected basis.

Such behavior must be unwelcome and sufficiently pervasive, persistent or severe that a reasonable person with the same characteristics of the victim of the harassing conduct, in the aggregate, would be adversely affected to a degree that interferes with his or her ability to participate in or to realize the intended benefits of an institutional activity, employment or resource.
