Sexual Harassment Policy Statement

The University of Mary Washington will not tolerate sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is a form of sexual discrimination and as such is illegal behavior. Moreover, sexual harassment would subvert the mission of the University by undermining the positive educational and working environment the University is committed to providing for all students, University personnel and visitors.

In compliance with Title VII and IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, it is the University's policy not to tolerate any verbal, nonverbal or physical behavior that constitutes sexual harassment. Violation of the policy prohibiting sexual harassment may lead to disciplinary actions, or termination of employment or academic status.
