Sexual Harassment Policy
It is the policy of The City University of New York to promote a cooperative work and academic environment in which there exists mutual respect for all University students, faculty, and staff.
Sexual harassment is inconsistent with this objective and contrary to the University policy of equal employment and academic opportunity without regard to age, sex, sexual orientation, citizenship, religion, race, color, national or ethnic origin, disability, and veteran or marital status.
Instructors shall have no direct physical contact with students unless directly related to the delivery of course content. Sexual harassment is illegal under Federal, State, and City laws, and will not be tolerated within the University.
Members of the University community who believe themselves to be aggrieved under this policy are strongly encouraged to report the allegations of sexual harassment as promptly as possible. Delay in making a complaint of sexual harassment may make it more difficult for the college to investigate the allegations.
Each dean, director, department chairperson, executive officer, administrator, or other person with supervisory responsibility is required to report any complaint of sexual harassment to an individual or individuals designated in the procedures. All members of the University community are required to cooperate in any investigation of a sexual harassment complaint.
