NSHE Policy Against Sexual Harassment
and Complaint Procedure Board of Regents
Handbook
Title 4, Chapter 8, Section 13 NSHEMay 2003 1
1. Sexual Harassment is Illegal under Federal and State
Law.
The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) is committed
to providing a place of work and learning free of sexual
harassment. Where sexual harassment is found to have
occurred, the NSHE will act to stop the harassment, to prevent
its recurrence, and to discipline those responsible in accordance
with the NSHE Code or, in the case of classified employees, the
Nevada Administrative Code. Sexual harassment is a form of
discrimination; it is illegal.
No employee or student, either in the workplace or in the
academic environment, should be subject to unwelcome verbal
or physical conduct that is sexual in nature. Sexual harassment
does not refer to occasional compliments of a socially
acceptable nature. It refers to behavior of a sexual nature that
is not welcome, that is personally offensive, and that interferes
with performance.
It is expected that students, faculty and staff will treat one
another with respect.
2. Policy Applicability and Sanctions.
All students, faculty, staff, and other members of the campus
community are subject to this policy. Individuals who violate this
policy are subject to discipline up to and including termination
and/or expulsion, in accordance with the NSHE Code or, in the
case of classified employees, the Nevada Administrative Code.
Other, lesser sanctions may be imposed, depending on the
circumstances.
This policy is not intended to and does not infringe upon
academic freedom in teaching or research as established in the
NSHE Code, Ch. 2.
