CENTRAL
CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY’S SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY STATEMENT: Central
Connecticut State University is committed to providing learning and
working environment that emphasizes the dignity and worth of every member
of its community, free from discriminatory conduct or communication.
Sexual harassment in any form is inimical to this and will not be
tolerated. For
the purpose of this policy statement, "Sexual Harassment" is
defined as any repeated, unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual
favors or any conduct of a sexual nature when: 1) submission to or
rejection of such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly the
basis, term, or condition of any individual's employment, or a factor in
an individual's grade, evaluation, promotion or retention; or 2) such
conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an
individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile,
offensive learning, or working environment. In
determining whether alleged conduct constitutes sexual harassment, the
University will look at the totality of circumstances, such as the nature
of the sexual advances and the context in which the alleged incidents
occurred. The determination of the legality of the particular action will
be made from facts, on a case-by-case basis. The University will take
immediate and appropriate corrective action based on the findings of each
case. It
is the responsibility of the President of the University to maintain the
University as a learning and working environment free of sexual harassment
and intimidation. The Coordinator of Multicultural Affairs/Director of
Affirmative Action has been designated as the coordinator of
investigations of sexual harassment complaints. Deans, directors,
department heads, chairpersons, and supervisors share responsibility for
the implementation of the University policy in regard to sexual harassment
in their units. Accountability for compliance with this policy, as with
all other University policies, will be part of their regular performance
evaluation. All members of Central Connecticut State University's workforce are expected to conduct themselves in keeping with the policy of prohibiting sexual harassment.
