What is Sexual Harassment?
Sexual harassment is commonly defined as any unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual favor or other unwelcome verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, particularly when:1. submission to such conduct is made either explicitly
or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment
or academic standing,
2. submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used
as the basis for an employment or academic decision affecting that 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 environment.
It is the policy of the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill that sexual harassment has no place in our community. The
University does not tolerate unlawful harassment or discrimination in
any form.
