Harassment based upon inappropriate or threatening sexual conduct, race, color, gender, religion, national origin, age, disability or sexual orientation is a form of discrimination prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and applicable New York State Laws.
Marist College is committed to providing an educational and working environment that is free of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is not only offensive, it is against the law, and it will not be tolerated by the College.
Under applicable federal and state laws and regulations, sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
Any member of the Marist Community whose conduct constitutes harassment, or who condones such actions on the part of subordinates, will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination of employment or immediate dismissal from the College. Such offenders may also be subject to personal liability and civil penalties.
Marist College has developed formal procedures to investigate and respond quickly to allegations of sexual harassment. Any member of the college community who experiences job, academic or campus life related harassment, or who has any related complaint, or is aware of any circumstances of harassment on campus, should promptly report the matter.

The College deems unwise and inappropriate, and therefore strongly discourages, consensual sexual relationships between supervisors and employees. A supervisory relationship is one in which one person is in a position to exercise influence or control over the other in work-related matters or in any terms or conditions of employment.
The College expressly forbids consensual sexual relationships between a member of the faculty or staff and a student. Such relationships are viewed as unwise and unprofessional. All members of the college community should be aware that involvement in any relationship as described above may expose them to eventual charges of sexual harassment. Such charges could result in College disciplinary action, up to and including termination, as well as personal liability and civil penalties.
Harassment based upon race, color, gender, religion, national origin, age, disability or sexual orientation are also forms of discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and the laws of New York State. Such harassing activities are likewise offensive, illegal and will not be tolerated by the College.
Under applicable federal and state laws and regulations, this type of harassment is defined as verbal or physical conduct of any kind, which is based upon an individual.s race, color, gender (other than sexual harassment) religion, national origin, age, disability or sexual orientation, when:
If you believe that you are a victim of such harassment or know of such harassment on campus, you are urged to follow the steps for reporting such activities as outlined above.
