CSU Chico's Student Judicial Affairs Information on Sexual Harassment

California State University, Chico will not tolerate any kind of exploitation of students, including sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:

1. Submission to such conduct is explicitly or implicitly a term of condition of employment, academic grade, or enrollment;

2. Submission to such conduct is used as the basis for employment or education decisions;

3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work/academic performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working or educational environment.

Students who believe they have been harassed should seek information and/or assistance through the Director of Student Judicial Affairs in Kendall Hall 112, 898-6897. The Director for Student Judicial Affairs will report cases of alleged sexual harassment by University employees to the Director of Employment Practices.
