Info

*household members” include individuals who live (or have lived) with the victim. But despite the term “household member,” the victim doesn’t actually need to reside in the same house as the abuser for the abuser to qualify as a “household member.” For example, a protected person could be a sibling who does not live with the victim as well as a former or current sexual partner that never lived with the victim. Gender-based harassment: Any act of verbal or non-verbal aggression, intimidation, stalking or hostility based on gender stereotyping. As with sexual harassment, the conduct exhibited must interfere with a person’s work or education (see sexual harassment definition). Incapacitation: The physical and/or mental inability for individuals to make rational, reasonable decisions because they lack the capacity to give knowing consent (see definition of consent provided above). Incapacitation is a state when an individual is under the influence of drugs or alcohol to the degree that judgment is significantly impaired. Partner Violence: Occurs when two people have been in a relationship that is or has been considered to be one leading to emotional and physical intimacy. All of the above-listed definitions can apply in partner violence, but may also include isolation and humiliation. Rape: A person commits rape when that person penetrates the vagina or anus of another individual with any body part or object without consent, or makes oral penetration with a sex organ without consent. Acquaintance Rape or Date Rape: A rape (as defined above) imposed upon a victim by someone he or she knows. Sexual Exploitation: Any visual or auditory recording of sexual activity that is made without explicit consent or sharing such without explicit consent. Example: using a hidden camera in a residence hall room to record sexual activity. Sexual Assault: A person commits sexual assault when that person engages in sexual intercourse or deviate sexual intercourse with a complainant without the complainant's consent. Additionally, for the purposes of this policy, sexual assault includes the deliberate touching of a person’s intimate parts (including genitalia, groin, breast or buttocks), or using force to cause a person to touch his or her own or another person’s intimate parts. Sexual Harassment: Any unwelcome sexual advances (verbal or physical), requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature are considered sexual harassment when: submitting to or participating in the conduct is either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment or educational achievement; or the conduct interferes with or is intended to interfere with work or education; or if the conduct creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive educational or work environment. A single instance of sexual misconduct may be sufficiently severe to create a hostile learning environment. Examples: Requests for sexual favors; sexually suggested language or humor; stalking; undesired physical contact; sexual assault. Sexual Misconduct: A broad term which includes non-consensual sexual intercourse, nonconsensual sexual contact, sexual exploitation, partner violence, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking and any other behavior of a sexual nature that is non-consensual and used for 135
the purpose of coercing, intimidating or threatening another person. Sexual misconduct can occur between people of the opposite sex or people of the same sex. Sexual Violence: Committing a physical sexual act against another person’s will or where a person is incapable of giving consent. Examples: rape, date rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, and sexual coercion. Stalking: A course of conduct or repeatedly committed acts or communications toward another person, including following the person without proper authority, under circumstances which demonstrate either an intent to place the other person in reasonable fear of bodily harm or causing substantial emotional distress. Examples: unwelcome and persistent electronic message, phone calls, gifts, and other forms of observation. Student Conduct Process for Sexual Misconduct: A process established by the University to resolve alleged acts of sexual misconduct, generally falling within the definition of sexual assault or sexual violence, but may be used in egregious acts of any form of sexual misconduct. All other alleged misconduct acts are resolved using the regular student conduct process. The student conduct process for sexual misconduct pertains to cases in which: 1) the complainant(s) and accused are Wilkes University students or 2) the accused is a Wilkes University student. The procedures for alleged incidents of sexual misconduct perpetrated against a student by a faculty member, staff member, or contracted worker is provided in the last section of this Appendix. Title IX: A federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education programs and activities at public and private educational institutions that receive federal assistance. Sexual harassment, including sexual violence, is a form of sex discrimination that is covered in Title IX. Title IX Officer: The person, specially trained, and responsible for oversight of University policies and practices related to sexual harassment (which includes sexual misconduct). The Title IX Officer for cases involving students is the Associate Dean for Student Development. University Judicial Council (UJC): The adjudicating body that considers appeals of Sexual Misconduct case decisions. The option for an appeal is available to both victim and accused. Victim: Any person who is subject to sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, sexual assault, sexual violence (terms not mutually exclusive). Staff Responsibilities and Contact Information Role of Staff and Faculty All faculty and staff members who do not work within the Health and Wellness Services Office are designated by Wilkes University as “responsible employees”. Title IX requires all responsible employees “who know or reasonably should know of possible sexual violence” to report the information to the appropriate designated officials. Responsible employees who become aware of an alleged episode of sexual misconduct are obligated to report all of the relevant facts pertaining to the incident (including names, dates, times, and locations) to the Deputy Title IX Coordinator, Office of Student Affairs, or Public Safety. Once an incident is reported, confidentiality will be respected based on the alleged 136
