¶¶ÒõÆƽâ°æ prohibits sexual misconduct in any form. Any form of violence, intimidation, abuse, exploitation or harassment based on sex, sex stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity and pregnancy or related conditions is contrary to the ideals of Dean and may jeopardize a community member's ability to learn, work or otherwise participate in the life of the College.
¶¶ÒõÆƽâ°æ strongly encourages all members of the community to take action, seek support and report incidents of sexual misconduct. If the College becomes aware of alleged sexual misconduct that impacts one or more members of the College community, the College will investigate the matter and, where misconduct is found to have occurred, it will take action to end the behavior, eliminate any hostile environment, remedy its effects and prevent its recurrence. The College will do so whether the perpetrator of the misconduct is a student, employee, guest, vendor or other third party.
