LATTC does not tolerate sexual misconduct
Definition…what is it?
Non-Consensual Sexual Con Non-consensual sexual contact is any intentional sexual touching, however slight, with any object, by a man or a woman upon a man or a woman that is without consent and/or by force. The determination of whether an environment is “hostile” must be based on all of the circumstances. These circumstances could include:
the frequency of the conduct;
the nature and severity of the conduct;
whether the conduct was physically threatening;
whether the conduct was humiliating;
the effect of the conduct on the alleged victim’s mental or emotional state;
whether the conduct was directed at more than one person;
whether the conduct arose in the context of other discriminatory conduct;
whether the conduct unreasonably interfered with the alleged victim’s educational or work performance;
whether the statement is a mere utterance of an epithet which engenders offense in an employee or student, or offends by mere discourtesy or rudeness
whether the speech or conduct deserves the protections of academic freedom or the 1st Amendment.
