95 written ballot whether or not <strong>to</strong> impose this penalty. A majority of votes will serve <strong>to</strong> impose the<br />

penalty. If there is no majority, discussion will continue and another penalty will be suggested by<br />

the chair and voted on. In case a majority does not emerge, the minimum penalty as indicated<br />

above will au<strong>to</strong>matically be imposed. It will be the responsibility of the provost <strong>to</strong> make sure that<br />

any penalty imposed is carried out.<br />

Decisions against a student may be appealed <strong>to</strong> the provost, except in the case of extraordinary<br />

circumstances, within seven business days of the original finding. Normally, the provost will<br />

only consider appeals on grounds of procedural violation or unreasonableness of penalty. The<br />

Office of the Provost will be authorized <strong>to</strong> set a penalty for the student in question. A finding by<br />

the hearing board that no violation has occurred cannot be appealed further.<br />

The chair will keep written records of the hearing. The hearing will also be tape-recorded.<br />

These written and audio records are confidential and will be maintained in the Office of the<br />

Provost. The proceedings and penalty of probation are not a part of the student record. The<br />

record of a sole offense will be expunged upon graduation.<br />

ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY<br />

Statement from the President<br />

Harassment of any type will not be <strong>to</strong>lerated at <strong>Adelphi</strong> <strong>University</strong>. If you have any questions or<br />

concerns about harassment, or if you need help in resolving a problem, I urge you <strong>to</strong> contact<br />

a member of the Anti-Harassment Panel. Anti-Harassment Panel members have been trained in<br />

applicable law, <strong>University</strong> policy and procedures, and crisis intervention. The dean of student<br />

affairs (for students) or the assistant vice president for human resources and labor relations<br />

(for employees) are the links in the event that more formal actions are necessary <strong>to</strong> resolve a<br />

complaint.<br />

Thank you.<br />

Robert A. Scott, Ph.D.<br />

President<br />

<strong>Adelphi</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />

Anti-Harassment Policy<br />

<strong>Adelphi</strong> <strong>University</strong> is proud of its work and academic environment, and will take all necessary<br />

steps <strong>to</strong> ensure that it remains pleasant and collegial for employees, faculty members and students,<br />

all of whom are required <strong>to</strong> treat each other with courtesy, consideration and professionalism.<br />

The <strong>University</strong> will not <strong>to</strong>lerate harassment of any employee, faculty member or student by any<br />

other member of the <strong>University</strong> community based on an individual’s race, creed, color, national<br />

origin, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, disability, genetic predisposition or carrier status, age,<br />

religion, marital status, veteran status or any other basis protected by applicable local, state or<br />

federal laws. With this policy, the <strong>University</strong> prohibits not only unlawful harassment, but also other<br />

unprofessional and discourteous actions. Accordingly, deroga<strong>to</strong>ry or inappropriate remarks, slurs<br />

or jokes related <strong>to</strong> any unlawful fac<strong>to</strong>r will not be <strong>to</strong>lerated. The <strong>University</strong> shall make this antiharassment<br />

policy available in various and appropriate places on campus.<br />

Harassment in any context, in addition <strong>to</strong> being unlawful, is reprehensible and is a matter of<br />

particular concern <strong>to</strong> an academic community in which students, faculty and staff are related by<br />

strong bonds of intellectual dependence, collegiality and trust.<br />

To demonstrate its commitment <strong>to</strong> maintaining an environment free of harassment, <strong>Adelphi</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong> created an Anti-Harassment Committee <strong>to</strong> draft this policy and address issues of<br />

harassment.
