Sexual Harassment Policy
The University is committed to providing a workplace that is free from unlawful sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is defined by law and includes requests for sexual favors, sexual advances or other sexual conduct when (1) submission is either explicitly or implicitly a condition affecting academic or employment decisions; (2) the behavior is sufficiently severe or pervasive as to create an intimidating, hostile or repugnant environment; or (3) the behavior persists despite objection by the person to whom the conduct is directed. The University considers such behavior, whether physical or verbal, to be a breach of its standards of conduct. It will seek to prevent such incidents and will investigate and take corrective actions for violations of University policy.
If you believe that you or others have been subjected to sexual harassment in any of its forms, please contact the Office for Access and Equity at 312-996-8670 or via email at oae@uic.edu.
