大学致力于确保为所有学生和员工提供一个公平的环境, 人道的, and respectful--an environment which supports and rewards employee performance on the basis of relevant considerations such as ability and effort. 不恰当地强调性别或保护阶级特征的行为, [1] 无论是感知到的还是实际的,与学生或员工的表现有关,破坏了这种环境.

因此, 该大学将为其学生和员工以及独立承包商提供服务, 顾问和实习生/志愿者提供一个没有不受欢迎的性侵犯的教育和就业环境, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct or communications constituting sexual harassment or harassment based on protected class characteristics as defined and otherwise prohibited by state and federal law.

这一政策的目的是建立迅速, thorough and effective procedures for responding to every complaint and incident so that problems can be identified and remedied internally. 提醒一下, 投诉及调查, adjudication and sanctioning of conduct that qualifies as “Title IX Sexual 骚扰” are required by law to be handled pursuant to the processes and procedures set forth in E.8.00, 第九条性骚扰程序 本手册的.  建议个人仔细阅读本政策, 尤其是它对第九条性骚扰的定义.

然而, an employee has the right to contact the 伊利诺斯州人权部 or the Equal 就业 Opportunity Commission (EEOC) about filing a formal complaint. IDHR和EEOC的投诉必须在指称事件发生后300天内向各自的机构提交。. 除了, an appeal process is available through the 伊利诺伊州人权委员会(IHRC) after IDHR has completed its 调查 of the complaint. Where the employing entity has an effective anti-harassment policy in place and the complaining employee fails to take advant年龄 of that policy and allow the employer an opportunity to address the problem, 该雇员可, 在某些情况下, 失去进一步向雇主索赔的权利. 向IDHR或EEOC投诉的员工不会受到报复.
