Weber State University (WSU) complies with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. WSU does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the areas of education, employment, and public accommodations.

UNIVERSITY POLICY Weber State University strives to create and maintain a study and work environment that is fair, humane, and responsible so that each member of the University community is treated with dignity and rewarded for such relevant considerations as ability and performance. The University prohibits any acts of sexual harassment or sexual violence by any student, faculty, or staff member or any form of retaliation related to acts or reports of any acts. When allegations of sexual harassment or sexual violence by a student are reported, and a student is found to have violated WSU policy, state, and/or federal law, sanctions will result and may include expulsion from WSU and criminal prosecution. All members of the WSU community are expected to not infringe upon the rights of others. Sexual harassment and sexual violence cannot be tolerated and is prohibited by the University.

THE LAW Sexual harassment and sexual violence is illegal. It is prohibited in the education context by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and in the employment context by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE DEFINED

STEPS TO TAKE IF BEING HARASSED

Any unwelcome attention of a sexual nature may be sexual harassment if it creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment or interferes with educational or work performances. Sexual harassment can be verbal, nonverbal, physical, or written (including e-mail).

If this is an emergency call 911 immediately; for non-emergencies, follow these steps:

Sexual Violence is a severe form of sexual harassment, and refers to physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person’s will or where a person is incapable of giving consent, including but not limited to rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, sexual coercion or similar acts. Sexual harassment and sexual violence are violations of state and federal law as well as Weber State University policy 3-32. The policy can be found at http://weber.edu/ppm/3-32.htm. The victim of sexual assault or sexual harassment has the option to pursue a criminal complaint with the Weber State Police Department and a University grievance with the Title IX Coordinator. Incidents related to a university activity involving faculty, and staff, as well as students, will be handled utilizing the resources and processes listed here. Weber State University will take all steps reasonably necessary to prevent sexual harassment/violence from occurring. University policy prohibits retaliation against those who participate in the complaint/investigation process.

1. Tell the offender to STOP If you feel comfortable doing so, try to stop the behavior by telling the offender clearly and directly that it is unwelcome and offensive to you and that you want it to stop at once. Write down what happened, including time and place, and names of possible witnesses.

2. Get help from others (See #4) if you find it difficult to confront the offender directly. Staff members in the Counseling Center, Dean of Students Office, Services for Women Students or the Equal Employment Opportunity Officer can help you analyze the situation and determine the best way to handle the harassment.

3. Record Details If the behavior does not stop, continue to write down what happened, including time and place, and the names of possible witnesses. Talk with others who may have been treated in a similar way. Find out if they would be willing to support you in any action you might take to get the behavior stopped

4. Report the Problem Emergency Response: 911 WSU Campus Police: 801-626-6460 (Annex 4) Title IX Coordinator, Barry Gomberg, Executive Director, AA/EO Phone: 801-626-6240 (Miller Admin 101) Dean of Students, Jeff Hurst, Ph.D, Phone: 801-626-7256 (Student Center 151)
