- Sexual Harassment
- It is the policy of the Texas Woman's University that no member of the
University community may sexually harass another. Any employee or student will
be subject to disciplinary action for violation of this policy.
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, 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 employment or education;
- submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the
basis for employment or academic decision affecting that individual;
- such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an
individual's professional or academic performance or creating an intimidating,
hostile, or offensive employment, education, or living environment.
Sexual harassment is illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964
and Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. In some cases, sexual
harassment may be subject to prosecution under the criminal sexual conduct law.
All complaints concerning matters of sexual harassment will originate with the
EEO/Affirmative Action Officer. If a person wishes to file a complaint of sexual
harassment, the complaint must be filed within 90 days following an incident.
The full text of this policy is available from the Department of Human
Resources.
