LeMoyne-Owen College expects that all members of the College community, students and employees, should be able to pursue their education and work in a safe environment, free from sex/gender-based harassment and discrimination. To this end, the College is committed to maintaining a learning and working environment free from sexual and gender-based discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, harassment, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, sexual intimidation, stalking, dating violence, domestic violence, or any other behavior that is non-consensual or has the purpose or effect of coercing a person or persons. This applies to same-sex or members of the opposite sex as well as actions occurring through the use of social media. This College’s policy aims to eradicate sexual harassment through education, training, campus resources, clear procedures for responding to reports of sexual harassment, and consequences for violators of this policy.
