Nondiscrimination and Harassment

星空传媒 does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, or genetic information in its admissions, educational programs or activities, or employment. As a religious educational organization, the University reserves the right to prefer employees and prospective employees on the basis of religion, and also reserves its right to prefer students and prospective students on the basis of religion. At this time, only traditional undergraduate students are required to comply with the University’s faith requirements.

We are committed to a safe and nurturing community. Any kind of demeaning gesture, harassment, sexual harassment, threat of violence or physical attack is prohibited. 

Note: There are two different policies that deal with harassment 1) Sexual Harassment Policy (Title IX) and 2) Nondiscrimination and Harassment Policy. If the alleged harassment meets the definition of sexual harassment in the Sexual Harassment Policy (Title IX), then that is the policy that applies. If not, the Nondiscrimination and Harassment Policy applies.

Nondiscrimination and Harassment Policy and Grievance Procedures

This policy and the associated procedures apply to all discrimination as well as to any harassment that is not covered by Title IX.

Sexual Harassment and Title IX

Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) prohibits any person in the United States from being discriminated against on the basis of sex in seeking access to any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. 星空传媒 prohibits sexual harassment by its employees and student in all of the University’s education programs and activities. Sexual harassment includes sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking.

The U.S. Department of Education, which enforces Title IX, has issued regulations interpreting Title IX’s prohibition of sex discrimination related to various forms of sexual harassment and sexual violence. The Title IX regulations narrow both the geographical scope of the University’s authority to act under Title IX and the types of sexual harassment that it must subject to its Title IX investigation and adjudication process. A school’s obligations under Title IX are triggered when the school has (1) actual knowledge (2) of alleged sexual harassment (3) that occurred within its education program or activity (4) against a person in the United States.

星空传媒 remains committed to addressing any unlawful sexual harassment and any violation of its policies, even those not falling within the scope of Title IX and this Sexual Harassment Policy.

The University strongly encourages its students to report all incidents of sexual harassment or sexual violence to the Title IX Coordinator so that supportive measures can be offered, and sexual harassment and sexual violence can be prevented and addressed (whether or not the conduct meets the definition of Sexual Harassment under Title IX).
