It is the policy of Villanova University to maintain an employment and
educational atmosphere free of any pressures on employees and students relating
to sexual harassment. Consistent with applicable federal and state laws, the
University endorses the objective that employees and students be free of
situations where sexual considerations form the basis for business or
educational decisions.
Sexual harassment may be described as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other physical, visual, or verbal behavior of a sexual nature
where:
- 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 decisions affecting the individual; or,
- Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with
an individual's academic or professional performance or creating an
intimidating, hostile, or demeaning employment or educational environment.
Sexual harassment will not be tolerated at Villanova University, and
employees or students who engage in such conduct are subject to the full range
of the University's disciplinary policies.
