SUBJECT:STUDENT SEXUAL MISCONDUCT POLICY
NUMBER:625
AUTHORIZING BODY:SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT STUDENT AFFAIRS AND CHIEF DIVERSITY OFFICER
RESPONSIBLE OFFICE:DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
DATE ISSUED:SEPTEMBER 9, 2016
LAST UPDATE:NEW

RATIONALE: 这一政策的基本原理是建立一个健康的社区,重视每一个学生,并有助于促进安全和尊重所有人. Members of the campus community must strive to create and maintain a safe, welcoming and respectful environment. 学生的不当性行为违反了大学的价值观,是被禁止的,并将受到制裁. This Policy applies regardless of one’s gender, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation.

POLICY: 本政策规定了报告和调查不当性行为指控的程序.

SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY: 这一政策适用于据报有不当性行为的学生,并要求 all University employees deemed “Responsible Employees” as defined by the U.S. Department of Education and discussed below to report allegations of sexual misconduct.

DEFINITIONS:

Sexual Misconduct by a student can occur in any University sponsored program, 如果不当行为对校园产生不利影响或造成敌对环境,则包括校内和校外或校外地点, endangers or threatens the health or safety of any person, and/or is detrimental to the University’s interests and/or educational mission. Sexual misconduct is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature without consent and includes sexual harassment, sexually hostile environments and sexual violence.

描述什么是“不受欢迎”或“未经同意”的最好方法是描述什么是“同意” is and 
is not:

  • Consent is an affirmation, unambiguous, 每个参与者都有意识地决定参与双方同意的性活动.
  • Consent is revocable and can be withdrawn at any time.
  • 同意某种形式的性活动并不意味着同意其他形式的性活动.
  • 同意在一种情况下进行性活动不等于同意在另一种情况下进行性活动.
  • Silence does not imply consent.
  • 同意与一个人进行性活动并不意味着同意与另一个人进行性活动.
  • If coercion, intimidation, threats, or physical force are used there is no consent.
  • If a person is underage there is no consent.
  • 如果一个人在精神上或身体上丧失行为能力,以至于他们无法理解事实, nature or extent of the sexual situation, there is no consent. 这包括由于饮酒或吸毒,或睡着或失去知觉而丧失行为能力.

Sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, which can include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, including sexual assault and other acts of sexual violence.

Sexual harassment creates a sexually hostile environment 如果该行为严重到拒绝或限制其参与或受益于大学项目的能力. 各种相关因素决定是否创造了性敌对环境,并从客观和主观角度考虑有关行为. Factors examined include the type of harassment; the frequency and severity of the misconduct; the age, sex, and relationship of the individuals involved; the setting and context in which the harassment occurred; and other relevant factors. The more severe the conduct, 就越不需要展示一系列重复的事件来证明环境是敌对的, particularly if the harassment is physical. A single or isolated instance of sexual violence may create a hostile environment.

Sexual violence refers to physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person’s will or where a person is incapable of giving consent. A number of different acts fall into this category including rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, sexual abuse, and sexual coercion.
