Sexual Harassment

Note: “性骚扰”包括所有形式的“不当性行为”，但也包括不属于本政策“不当性行为”定义范围的行为.”

Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination and means unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:

1. 对该行为的服从明确或隐含地成为雇佣或教育的条件;
2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as a component of the basis for employment or education-related decisions affecting that individual; or
3. The conduct has the effect of substantially interfering with an individual’s work performance, academic or education-related experience, or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working or educational environment.

Examples of sexual harassment include, but are not limited to, the following, when such acts or behavior come within one of the above definitions:

• Either explicitly or implicitly conditioning any term of employment (e.g., continued employment, wages, evaluation, advancement, assigned duties or shifts) or educational benefit on the provision of sexual favors;
• touching or grabbing a sexual part of an employee’s body;
• touching or grabbing any part of an employee’s body after that person has indicated, or it is known, that such physical contact was unwelcome;
• 当员工表示不感兴趣时，继续要求员工在上班或下班时进行社交活动;
• displaying or transmitting sexually suggestive pictures, objects, cartoons, or posters if it is known or should be known that the behavior is unwelcome;
• 如果知道或应该知道该人不欢迎这种行为，继续写性暗示的便条或信件;
• 指指或称呼某人带有性意味的名字，如果知道或应该知道该人不欢迎这样的行为;
• 经常在某人面前讲性笑话或使用性粗俗或露骨的语言，如果知道或应该知道该人不欢迎这种行为;
• retaliation of any kind for having filed or supported a complaint of sexual harassment (e.g., ostracizing the person, pressuring the person to drop or not support the complaint, adversely altering that person’s duties or work or educational environment, etc.);
• derogatory or provoking remarks about or relating to an employee’s sex;
• harassing acts or behavior directed against a person on the basis of his or her sex;

“Consent” for purposes of Sexual Misconduct means “Affirmative Consent.”

“Affirmative Consent” is a knowing, voluntary, and mutual decision among all participants to engage in sexual activity. Consent can be given by words or actions, 只要这些言语或行为能够明确地表达出参与性行为的意愿. Silence or lack of resistance, in and of itself, does not demonstrate consent. The definition of consent does not vary based upon a participant’s sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

The following principles are provided as guidance for the ACPHS community:

• 同意任何一方之间或与任何一方之间的任何性行为或事先两厢情愿的性活动并不一定构成同意任何其他性行为.
• 无论发起行为的人是否受到毒品和/或酒精的影响，都必须征得同意.
• Consent may be initially given but withdrawn at any time.
• Consent cannot be given when a person is incapacitated, 当一个人缺乏有意识地选择参与性活动的能力时，会发生什么. Incapacitation may be caused by the lack of consciousness or being asleep, being involuntarily restrained, or if an individual otherwise cannot consent. Depending on the degree of intoxication, someone who is under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other intoxicants may be incapacitated and therefore unable to consent.
• Consent cannot be given when it is the result of any coercion, intimidation, force, or threat of harm.
• When consent is withdrawn or can no longer be given, sexual activity must stop.
