FR66 p ARI Ithaca College is committed to maintaining a campus environment that promotes dignity and respect for all individuals within the parameters that provide for freedom of thought, expression, and the flourishing of ideas. Sexual harassment undermines these ideals as well as the college's overall mission as an educational institution. In promulgating this policy, Ithaca College reaffirms that every member of the College community has a right to an educational and/or employment setting ·that is free from sexual harassment. Tenure, the proper exercise of academic freedom, years of service, and job-related authority neither insulates individuals from complaints nor influences the enforcement of the College's policy prohibiting sexual harassment In tl)e discrimination complaint-resolution process, confidentiality will be maintained as far as is possible and appropriate. Intimidation or threats of retaliation against anyone exercising his/her right to bring a complaint, make an inquiry, or participate in the complaint process will not be tolerated and will be treated as a violation of the College's sexual harassment policy. Individuals who violate this policy are subject to disciplinary action, including dismissal, to be determined on a caseby-case oosis. Allegations of sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination are extremely serious. Thus, neither frivolous nor false alle gations made willfully will be tolerated. Individuals involved in making such allegations are subject to disciplinary action, to be determined on a case-by-case oosis. Consensual sexual relationships between employees and students or between a supervisor and his/her supervisee, while not expressly forbidden at Ithaca College, have the potential for exploitation. Sexual relationships between a student and a faculty member who has grading authority over that student are of particular concern. Because of the power disparity inherent in such professional relationships, consent will not necessarily protect an individual from allegations of harassment Responsibility for ensuring enforcement of this policy is delegated to the affirmative action officer. Faculty themselves and staff with supervisory responsibilities are expected to maintain an employment and educational environment free of harassment Ultimately, however, preventing sexual harassment and creating an environment in which such behavior is recognized as unequivocally unacceptable requires commitment from all members of the community. sexual harassment may take a variety of forms and refers to a broad spectrum of conduct ranging from unwelcome sexual comments to physical assault In keeping with the E.EOC. Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Sex (29 CFR 1604.11), Ithaca College defines sexual harass ment as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other physical and expressive behavior of a sexual nature when: I. submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicity a term or condition of an individual's employment or academic status; or 2. submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as a oosis for employment or academic decisions affecting the individual; or 3. such conduct has the purpo~ or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's professional or academic performance, or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive employment or educational environment Toe college shall respond to complaints of sexual harassment promptly and equitably. Complaints by students against employ ees and complaints by employees against other employees will be resolved using the formal/or informal procedures of the Ithaca College Guidelines for Resolving Discrimination Complaints. When the individual accused of violating the policy is a student, complaints will be resolved in accordance with relevant provisions of the Ithaca College Student Code. When appropriate, Ithaca College encourages resolution of complaints through informal means. However, if attempts at informal resolution are unsuccessful, or if the affirmative action officer determines that the nature of the allegations is such that an infor mal approach would be inappropriate or ineffective,. the complainant may request resolution through the formal discrimination complaint procedures. '- Toe College will publicize annually a summary of action taken in response to sexual haras.sment complaints. These data will be made available in anonymous, aggregat~ form, and every effort will be made to protect confidentiality. ..Approved by the.Ithaca College Board ofTmstees, May 1995 PAGE 12 TuURSDAY, S1:PJ'EMBF.R 3, 1998 THE ITifACAN "' Our VIEW Photos reveal reality, troth It is unfortunate some people thought last week's Big Picture to be ·disgusting.• The pho tos published were chosen because they accu rately portrayed what any people could see had they been standing in the backyard of College Circle Apartment 36A on lhe night of Sunday, Aug. 23.
