Eastern Michigan University: Policy on Sexual Harassment

University Policy on Sexual Harassment and Other Prohibited Conduct

The University's Mission Statement and accompanying Institutional Values and Guiding Principles reflect our collective commitment to providing an environment that positively affects the lives of all individuals who are part of the EMU community. This commitment includes providing an educational, employment, and business environment free of sexual harassment.

On August 4, 2004 the University's Board of Regents adopted a revised Sexual Harassment and Other Prohibited Conduct Policy. The revised policy reaffirms our shared values and responsibility to respect all individuals and prohibits any member of the University community from engaging in sexual harassment and other prohibited activities that demean or diminish an individual in any way. The rights and responsibilities inherent in this policy apply to all employees, students, guests and outside contractors.

One of the strengths of Eastern Michigan University is that we value and respect human dignity and rights of all people. Each of us shares the responsibility for ensuring that sexual harassment and other prohibited conduct will not be tolerated and that we strictly adhere to the tenets of this policy.
