SEXUAL HARASSMENT
The American University of Paris affirms its commitment
to the principle that no student, employee or applicant for
employment shall be subject to sexual harassment. Sexual
harassment is a violation of the standards of conduct at AUP
and is defined as any unwelcome sexual advances, requests
for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of
a sexual nature where:
■ Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly
or implicitly a condition or term of a student's status
in a course, program or activity or a condition of work
■ Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual
is used as the basis for academic or other decisions
affecting a student or employee
■ Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably
interfering with a student's academic performance,
educational experience, or creating an intimidating, hostile,
or offensive environment
It is a violation of University policy to initiate any action
of reprisal against a member of the University community
who in good faith reports incidents of sexual harassment.
Complaints of sexual harassment should be filed with the
Dean of Students. If the complaint concerns the conduct
of another student, the Dean of Students will initiate an
investigation and follow the procedures outlined above under
the standards of conduct for the University and the judicial
procedures where appropriate. If the complaint concerns
the conduct of a University employee, the Dean of Students
will forward the complaint to the Office of Academic Affairs
or to the Director of Personnel, whichever is appropriate,
and an investigation will begin immediately. Should
allegations of sexual harassment be found to be true,
disciplinary actions will be initiated.
