BERKELEY CAMPUS POLICY AGAINST SEXUAL HARASSMENT

1. Policy
   The University of California is committed to creating and
   maintaining a community in which students, faculty, and
   administrative and academic staff can work together in an atmosphere
   free of all forms of harassment, exploitation, or intimidation,
   including sexual harassment.  Every member of the University
   community should be aware that the University is strongly opposed to
   sexual harassment and that such behavior is prohibited both by law
   and by University policy.  It is the intention of the University to
   take whatever action may be neeeded to prevent, correct, and, if
   necessary, discipline behavior which violates this policy.  Managers
   and supervisors have the responsibility for participation in the
   creation of a campus environment free from sexual harassment and in
   the resolution of complaints within their respective jurisdictions.

2. Definition of Sexual Harassment
   Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other
   verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual
   harassment when:

   a) Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or
   implicitly a term or condition of instruction, employment, or
   participation in other University activity;

   b) Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is
   used as a basis for evaluation in making academic or personal
   decisions affecting an individual; or

   c) Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably
   interfering with an individual's performance or creating an
   intimidating, hostile, or offensive University environment.

   In determining whether the alleged conduct constitutes sexual
   harassment, consideration shall be given to the record of the
   incident as a whole and to the totality of the circumstances,
   including the context in which the alleged incidents occurred.

3. Further Information
   A violation of the University policy on sexual harassment also
   constitutes a violation of the Faculty Code of Conduct.  Staff
   personnel policies for all levels of staff prohibit sexual
   harassment and provide for disciplinary action for inappropriate
   conduct.
