Under the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the State of Alaska, sexual harassment is considered a form of sex/gender discrimination and, therefore, an unlawful discriminatory practice. Iḷisaġvik College has adopted a sexual harassment policy found in Addendum 1 of the Student Handbook and the Employee Handbook. The sexual harassment policy explains the definition of sexual harassment, hostile environment, non-consensual relationships, sexual misconduct, incapacitation, intimate partner violence, stalking, and menacing. Examples are provided to help students and employees fully understand what constitutes inappropriate sexual behavior or violent behavior. All students and employees are strongly encouraged to read the Title IX Sexual Harassment Policy and become familiar with the expectations of behavior while affiliated with Iḷisaġvik College.
