Sexual Harassment Policy

The City University of New York Policy Against Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is illegal.

Every student, faculty member, staff member, and administrator is encouraged to become aware of and to support the University’s Policy Against Sexual Harassment. To this end, we provide this interactive computer program to inform all members of the University community about sexual harassment - what it is and how to prevent it in academic and workplace settings. A copy of the University’s Policy Against Sexual Harassment is available for printing during the program. Revised and adopted by the Board of Trustees in 2004, the policy defines sexual harassment, provides examples of prohibited conduct, discusses penalties for offenders, and establishes procedures for handling complaints.

The University strives to foster a harassment-free environment - one in which all its members can work, study, and learn in an atmosphere of courtesy and mutual respect. As a supervisor or administrator/faculty member/member of the University community, you have a role to play in the attainment of this goal.

For additional information, the full text is available in the Affirmative Action Office, Room A-318.

Sexual Harassment Education Committee

Making a Complaint of Sexual Harassment
The City University of New York Policy Against Sexual Harassment was adopted by the Board of Trustees, dated October 1, 1995 and was revised in January 2005, together with the procedures for the implementation of the City University’s policy against sexual harassment. Under this policy, students may complain to any member of the Sexual Harassment Awareness and Intake Committee.
Any member of the University community may file a complaint of sexual harassment with, or report allegations of sexual harassment to, the Sexual Harassment Coordinator, a Sexual Harassment Deputy Coordinator or any other member of the Sexual Harassment Awareness and Intake Committee.
