A brief description of the institution’s discrimination response policy, program and/or team:
"Personal harassment (“Harassment”) is verbal or physical conduct, including actions motivated by bias, that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion toward an individual. Harassment may include behavior that targets an individual because of race, color, religion, sex, perceived, or actual sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, pregnancy, marital or family status, military or veteran status, citizenship or any other characteristic protected by law. Harassment also includes any kind of nonverbal, verbal, or physical conduct involving either intimidation or promise of reward where:
a) such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual’s academic or professional performance of creating an intimidating, hostile or demeaning educational or employment environment; or
b) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment or academic advancement, or;
c) submission to or rejection of such conduct by individual is used as the basis for employment decision or academic decisions affecting that individual.
While harassment may be indicated by frequent or repetitive acts, it is possible that one severe act could constitute a violation of the harassment policy. Incidents of harassment can occur whether or not the act or actions were intended to harass; the effect of the conduct will determine whether harassment has occurred. The effect of the conduct in question will be evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable person in the alleged victim’s position."
