Harassment
The University specifically prohibits harassment based on any other characteristics set forth in its nondiscrimination statement including race, color, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, creed or religion, national origin, age, disability, veteran status and all federally protected groups/classes. Harassment based on any of these protected characteristics undermines the mission of the University and negatively impacts the University community as a whole. Prohibited harassment is conduct based on one of these characteristics when such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work or educational performance or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment for work or learning. The University will not tolerate retaliatory behavior against any individual(s) who reports harassment.
Behaviors that could be considered harassment based on these characteristics include any patterns of conduct aimed at another because of a protected characteristic that would degrade, distress, or humiliate a reasonable person, such as:
- Physical intimidation, assault, or vandalism.
- Exhibits of pictures or reading materials in print or electronic form containing negative information about a person's protected class.
- Verbal abuse or degrading conversations regarding a person's protected class.
- Name-calling, jokes, or negative comments about a person's protected class.
Sexual harassment is a violation of Title IX and is addressed specifically in the Title IX and other Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Policy.
Gender Identity and Expression
The University of Evansville endorses and voluntarily complies with the Department of Education's June 16, 2021 Title IX Notice of Interpretation with regards to student gender identity and sexual orientation.
