Student GuideSexual HarassmentSexual harassment in any form is reprehensible. The college affirms that its students, faculty, administration, and staff have a right to freedom from sex discrimination in the form of sexual harassment by any member of the academic community. As such, the college has a well established policy addressing the definition of sexual harassment which outlines specific procedures for resolving situations involving harassment and filing complaints of harassment when conventional methods of resolution fail. The administration considers sexual harassment a very serious offense and, if it is not resolved quickly, a violator may be liable to strict sanctions including loss of employment or student status.
The complete policy on Sexual Harassment is distributed to each new student every fall semester. Printed copies are also available in the Counseling Center, at Information Desk, or they may be obtained from the Sexual Harassment Officer of the college located in the Department of Human Resources on the first floor of Luckey Building. An online version of the policy is also available at http://campus.houghton.edu/orgs/human_resources/sexualharassment.asp |
