Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or
physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when:
submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or
condition of instruction, employment, or participation in other University
activity;
submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as a basis
for evaluation in making academic or personnel decisions affecting an
individual; or,
such conduct could reasonably be assumed to have the purpose or effect of
interfering with an individual's performance or creating an intimidating, hostile,
or offensive working environment.
may be processed in accordance with the pre-grievance complaint resolution
process of the sexual harassment complaint resolution procedures in effect at
the time at the location of the NSF. (For informational purposes only, see
Appendix D for identification of the current campus Complaint Resolution
Officer(s) and information regarding access to the current campus
procedure.) If the sexual harassment complaint is not resolved through the
local pre-grievance complaint resolution process, the complaint may be taken
to Step III of Article 32 - Grievance Procedure.
Disciplinary action taken against an NSF resulting from a sexual harassment
complaint will be considered to be for misconduct and will be taken in conformance
with the procedures set forth in Article 30 - Discipline and Dismissal.
