Applicability: This Policy applies to all persons at Johnson County Community College (“赌钱app可以微信提现” or “College”) participating or attempting to participate in the College’s education program or activity, including students and employees.

Purpose: This Policy prohibits students and employees from engaging in Sexual Harassment.

Definitions:

“Sexual Harassment” means conduct on the basis of sex that satisfies one or more of the following:

  1. An employee conditioning the provision of an aid, benefit, or service of the College on an individual’s participation in unwelcome sexual conduct (i.e., quid pro quo); or
  2. Unwelcome conduct determined by a reasonable person to be so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the College’s education program or activity; or
  3. Sexual Assault (as defined in the Clery Act), Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, or Stalking (as defined in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)).

“Sexual Assault,” as defined by the Clery Act, is any sexual act directed against another person, without consent of the victim, including instances where the victim is incapable of giving consent, including rape, fondling, incest and statutory rape.

“Dating Violence” is violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim. The existence of such a relationship shall be determined based on the reporting party’s statement and with consideration of the length of the relationship, the type of relationship, and the frequency of interaction between the persons involved in the relationship. For the purposes of this definition, dating violence includes, but is not limited to, sexual or physical abuse or the threat of such abuse. Dating violence does not include acts covered under the definition of domestic violence.

“Domestic Violence” means a felony or misdemeanor crime of violence committed by a current or former spouse or intimate partner of the victim; a person with whom the victim shares a child in common; a person who is cohabitating with, or has cohabitated with, the victim as a spouse or intimate partner; a person similarly situated to a spouse of the victim under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction in which the crime of violence occurred; any other person against an adult or youth victim who is protected from that person’s acts under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction in which the crime of violence occurred.

“Stalking,” as defined by VAWA, means engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for the person’s safety or the safety of others; or suffer substantial emotional distress. “Course of conduct” means two or more acts, including, but not limited to, acts in which the stalker directly, indirectly, or through third parties, by any action, method, device, or means, follows, monitors, observes, surveils, threatens, or communicates to or about a person, or interferes with a person’s property. Reasonable person means a reasonable person under similar circumstances and with similar identities to the victim. “Substantial emotional distress” means significant mental suffering or anguish that may, but does not necessarily require medical or other professional treatment or counseling
