Sexual Harassment Policy
The Beverly Institute’s position is that sexual harassment is a form of misconduct that
undermines the integrity of the Student to Student, Teacher to Student, or Student to T.B.I.
Employee relationship. All teachers and students have the right to work in an environment
free from all forms of discrimination and conduct which can be considered harassing,
coercive, or disruptive, including sexual harassment. Anyone engaging in harassing
conduct will be subject to discipline, ranging from a warning to termination and explosion.
Notification of Sexual Harassment Policy
At the beginning of each school year in their homeroom class, students will be informed of
The Beverly Institute policies regarding Sexual Harassment.
What is sexual harassment?
Sexual harassment is defined as any unwanted physical, verbal or visual sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, and other sexually oriented conduct which is offensive or
objectionable to the recipient, including, but not limited to: epithets, derogatory or
suggestive comments, slurs or gestures and offensive posters, cartoons, pictures, or
drawings.
When is conduct unwelcome or harassing?
Unwelcome sexual advances (either verbal or physical), requests for favors and other verbal
or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when:
What is not sexual harassment?
Sexual harassment does not refer to occasional compliments of a socially acceptable
nature. It refers to behavior that is not welcome, that is personally offensive, that debilitates
morale, and that, therefore, interferes with work effectiveness.
What should you do if you are sexually harassed?
If you feel that you have been the recipient of sexually harassing behavior, report it
immediately to your school office. It is preferable to make a complaint in writing, but you can
accompany or follow up your written complaint with a verbal complaint.
Your identity will be protected and you will not be retaliated against for making a complaint.
What happens after a complaint is made?
After a written complaint is made, a supervisor, or other person designated by the owner, will
investigate the complaint. The person will speak with possible witnesses and will speak with
the person named in your complaint. Your anonymity will be protected to the extent
possible. Depending on the complexity of the investigation, you should be contacted about
the status of your complaint and whether action is being taken.
