ASMSA is committed to its mission of providing an academic and employment environment that fosters excellence. Sexual harassment violates the trust and respect essential to the preservation of such an environment, and threatens the education, employment, and well-being of its community members. ASMSA employees and students have the right to work and study in an environment free of any form of sexual harassment. This right is protected by Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act for employees and Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 for students. Sexual harassment is destructive to students, faculty, staff and the ASMSA community as a whole, and it will not be tolerated. ASMSA opposes all forms of sexual harassment, whether subtle or direct, and is committed to the thorough, timely and confidential investigation, in a fair and impartial manner, of all complaints.
