| Sexual Harrasment Resources | Resource Persons |
|---|---|
| Sexual harassment is a violation of the principle that all members of the Nebraska Wesleyan community are treated fairly and equally, with dignity and respect, and thus it is a violation of the freedom of others. It is the policy of Nebraska Wesleyan University that no member of its community may sexually harass another. Sexual harassment is a form of sexual discrimination. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment when (1) submission to such conduct is either an implicit or explicit condition of an individual’s employment or education, (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for employment or academic decisions affecting the individual, or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work or academic performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work or educational environment. It is the responsibility of all members of the Nebraska Wesleyan community to participate in understanding, preventing, and combating sexual harassment. Any activity perceived as sexual harassment should be reported. Any person found to have violated this policy may be subject to disciplinary measures. By complying with this policy, students, faculty, and staff of Nebraska Wesleyan will help create an environment that is inclusive and conducive to intellectual and personal growth. Students who believe that they may have been sexually harassed may speak with a sexual harassment resource person, or with the Dean of Students. A complete statement of sexual harassment policies and procedures is available in the Academic Affairs Office, the Student Life Office, and the Business Office. |
