Bradley University reaffirms the principle that its students and employees have a right to work in an environment free from harassment. Bradley University does not tolerate harassment and commits its efforts to educate its students and staff that the understanding of and sensitivity to this issue is paramount in the world both inside and outside the University.
Harassment is any verbal or physical conduct that denigrates or shows hostility toward an employee because of the employee’s race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, unfavorable military discharge, veteran status or other basis which may be protected by applicable law. Harassment occurs when such conduct has the p urpose or effect of interfering with an employee’s work performance, creating a hostile or offensive work or educational environment or otherwise adversely affecting an employee’s employment opportunities.
Harassment includes epithets, slurs, negative stereotyping, insulting or degrading words or actions. Harassment also includes threatening, intimidating or violent acts directed against an employee. Harassment may result from the use of written or graphic materials, such as cartoons or jokes.
Bradley University is committed to providing and maintaining a work environment free from all forms of harassment. For that reason, Bradley University does not and will not tolerate harassment. Employees in the University community who feel they have been the victims of harassment are encouraged to seek redress through the Human Resource Department (239 Sisson Hall, Ext. 3223) or the established
