• Repeatedly pressuring another person for sexual activity;
• Making sexist remarks about an individuals clothing, body or sexual activities;
• Unnecessary touching, patting or pinching another person;

• Electronically transmitting derogatory, demeaning or pornographic materials;

A hostile environment exists when sexual harassment is sufficiently serious to deny or limit a person’s ability to participate in or benefit from the University’s programs or activities. A hostile environment can be created by anyone involved in the University’s programs or activities (e.g., administrators, faculty members, students, and campus visitors).
