Sexual Misconduct: Unwanted Sexual Behavior

Know the Facts

• The victim as well as the harasser may be MALE or FEMALE. The victim does not have to be of the opposite sex.
• The harasser can be the individual’s supervisor, professor, coworker, another student, a staff member, or an advisor.
• The victim does not have to be the person harassed, but could be anyone affected by the offensive conduct.
• The harasser’s conduct must be unwelcome.
• The nature of sexual harassment has to do with power, intimidation, and control and not with sexual intimacy and healthy relationships.
