Sexual Harassment Policy and Procedures

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Kenyon College is committed to providing its students, faculty, and staff a community and place of study that is free of discrimination. Sexual harassment is a form of prohibited sex discrimination. Sexual harassment is against the law and in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.Sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature.

Sexual harassment consists of unwelcome and unsolicited sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when 1) submission to such conduct is used as the basis for educational decisions or is made a condition of participation in a school program or activity; or 2) such conduct (a) has the purpose or effect of substantially or unreasonably interfering with a student's academic performance, (b) is sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive that it adversely and unreasonably affects a student's participation in or receipt of benefit from an educational program, or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive educational environment; or c) otherwise adversely and unreasonably affects a student's learning opportunities.

Sex discrimination and sexual harassment can take many forms, including but not limited to the following:

• repeated and unwanted comments that stigmatize another on the basis of one's sex;• subtle pressure for sexual activity;• sexually harassing statements made through electronic communication;• graphic comments about a person's body;• sexually explicit pictures or suggestive objects placed in a living or work space thata reasonable person would find offensive; • unwanted propositions of a sexual nature, or demands for sexual favors;• stalking;• non-consensual sexual intercourse;• non-consensual sexual contact;• sexual exploitation;• endangering the health of another person by exposing him or her to a sexuallytransmitted disease or condition without notifying the person in advance; or• unwanted telephone calls or e-mail with sexually explicit content.

Off-campus misconduct between students may lead to the creation of an on-campus hostile environment that constitutes sexual harassment. Therefore, student-on-student sexual harassment complaints that involve off-campus activities will be processed in the same manner as other complaints.Penalties. Any student found responsible for violating the policy on sexual harassment will likely receive a recommended sanction ranging from warning to dismissal, depending on the severity of the incident, and taking into account any previous campus conduct code violations.
