• 不正当的性行为 is a term used by this policy to more conveniently refer to any form of sexual harassment, 性侵犯, 性剥削, 约会暴力, 家庭暴力或跟踪 .  性行为不端可能发生在同性或异性之间.

• 性骚扰 是一种性别歧视吗.  性骚扰可能是口头的、书面的、视觉的或身体的.  不受欢迎的性挑逗, 性要求, 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 an individual’s education, 作为影响个人的教育决策的基础吗, 或者该行为具有恐吓的目的或效果, 充满敌意或攻击性的教育环境.

只是为了说明一下, 性骚扰包括, 但不限于, 以下几种行为:基于性别贬低的骂人行为, 让别人受到不必要的侮辱, degrading, 或者压迫性的言论, jokes, innuendos or vulgar pictures; sexually oriented teasing or pranks; unwelcome sexually-charged comments or conduct, 反复对某人进行不受欢迎的性关注或性挑逗.  The fact that a person was personally offended by a statement or incident does not alone constitute sexual harassment.  Instead, the determination is based on a “reasonable person” standard and takes into account the totality of the circumstances.  学院考虑交流的语境, 个人之间的关系, whether an incident was an isolated occurrence or part of a broader pattern of conduct, the seriousness of the incident and the intent of the individual engaged in the allegedly offensive conduct.  In all instances, a key factor is whether the behavior occurred because of one’s gender.

学院还禁止“交换条件”(或“这个换那个”)骚扰.  This type of harassment occurs when a person in a position of authority links the receipt of some benefit (such as a passing grade) to another’s submission to unwelcome sexual advances or sexual activity.  它可以被明确地陈述，但也可以被言语或行为暗示.  No person should believe that any other person – no matter their title or position- has the right to pressure another person for sexual activity.
