Here at North Dakota State, we have an overarching Equal Opportunity and Non-Discrimination Policy -- https://www.ndsu.edu/fileadmin/policy/100.pdf -- and several more specific ones. Our Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation Complaint Procedures -- https://www.ndsu.edu/fileadmin/policy/156.pdf -- can be used by anyone in the University community who wants to file a complaint or a report.
Sex- and gender-based discrimination was addressed by a Sexual Harassment Policy. That policy will be replaced by a much-improved Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, and Title IX Policy that I can't attach because it has not yet gone through the entire policy approval process. I would be glad to send it when it does later this semester. We also currently have a Consensual Relationships Policy -- https://www.ndsu.edu/fileadmin/policy/162_1.pdf. Generally, student-to-student harassment is addressed through the Student Code of Conduct. The Sexual Misconduct and Title IX Compliance Policy -- https://www.ndsu.edu/fileadmin/policy/603.pdf - is used for student-involved sexual misconduct - usually student-to-student.

Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2016 2:09 PM To: Association of College and University Policy Administrators <[email protected]> Subject: [acupa-l] AA/EEO/NDH Policies Good afternoon! Here at Ohio State, we're currently revising our Affirmative Action, Equal Employment Opportunity, & Non-Discrimination Harassment policy. To provide some context around our questions, we have a stand-alone Sexual Misconduct policy addressing sex- and gender-based harassment (not discrimination). Our non-discrimination notice is also a stand-alone document (it is not a university policy, though it is an associated document to multiple university policies). Additionally, our current AA/EE/NDH policy does not address student-to-student behavior; that is addressed in our Code of Student Conduct if the behavior rises to the level of a) endangering health and safety, b) disorderly or disruptive conduct, or c) riotous behavior. We'd love if you'd share any advice, your current policies, or your thoughts on the following: * Do you combine your policies addressing Affirmative Action & Equal Employment Opportunity and those addressing Non-Discrimination/Harassment, or do you separate them? * Do you address sex- and gender-based discrimination in an overarching anti-discrimination/harassment policy or are those protected classes addressed separately? * Do you address student-to-student harassment via policy? If you do, is this in conjunction with policy relevant to faculty and/or staff?
