Dear REMNet Workshop Participant:

This event is supported all or in part by the NSF under Award No. 1827035 and is governed by the NSF PAPPG which became effective February 25, 2019. Chapter II.E.8 of this guide requires that we provide all event participants with information on the University’s policy on sexual harassment, other forms of harassment and sexual assault as well as information about how to report any violations of such policy. For purposes of this requirement, “other forms of harassment” is defined as “Non-gender or non-sex-based harassment of individuals protected under federal civil rights laws, as set forth in organizational policies or codes of conduct, statutes, regulations, or executive orders.”

Brooklyn College CUNY (BC) is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in BC programs and activities can work and learn together in an atmosphere free of harassment, exploitation, or intimidation.

BC has policies, which prohibit discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence and address how to report such violations. These policies include the BC Harassment Policy, and Affirmative Action Policy, Code of Conduct, and the BC Policy on Sexual Misconduct.

This Policy outlines BC’s responsibilities and expectations related to Prohibited Conduct in order to ensure an equitable and inclusive education and employment environment free of sexual violence and sexual harassment. The BC Title IX Procedures addresses the process to resolve Prohibited Conduct that falls under Title IX jurisdiction.

BC Harassment Policy refers to but is not limited to harassment due to age, race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, physical or mental disability, medical condition, or veteran status. The Policies applies to all University faculty, staff, and students (undergraduates, graduates, and professional students), and third parties.
