(Replaced
by new Board Policy 3430) Board Policy POLICY ON SEXUAL HARASSMENT The Glendale College
District is committed to all provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and other human rights and
equal opportunity laws. These laws include prohibitions of discrimination in
employment and educational programs and services on the basis of sex. Recent guidelines for Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act focus upon sexual harassment as an unlawful
practice. “Sexual harassment like harassment on the basis of color, race,
religion or national origin has long been recognized by the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission as a violation of Section 703 of Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act as amended” (Federal Register, April 11, 1980). Recent
interpretations of Title IX of the Education Amendments similarly delineate
sexual harassment as discriminatory and unlawful. Sexual harassment is
unacceptable conduct, is unlawful, and will not be tolerated by the Glendale
Community College District. Disciplinary action shall be initiated against any
individual found guilty of sexual harassment. The following criteria shall
determine whether actions constitute sexual harassment. 1)
Offensive
Job/Educational Interference. Behavior
including verbalization or gestures that has the purpose or effect of
substantially interfering with an individual’s work, academic, or other
educational performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive
environment; and 2)
Employment/Educational
Condition. Submission
to the conduct is either an explicit or implicit term or condition of
employment and/or pursuit of educational objective; and 3)
Employment/Educational
Consequence. Submission to or rejection of the conduct is used as a basis for employment, education, and/or service decisions affecting the persons who did the submitting or rejecting. 4) Implementation of Policy. The implementation of this Board Policy will be in accordance with Administrative Regulation #2700. |
