2010-2011 GUIDEBOOK Policy Against Sexual and Non-Sexual Harassment A. Preamble The Johns Hopkins University is committed to providing its staff, faculty and students the opportunity to pursue excellence in their academic and professional endeavors. This opportunity can exist only when each member of our community is assured an atmosphere of mutual respect. The free and open exchange of ideas is fundamental to the University’s purpose. It is not the University’s intent in promulgating this policy to inhibit free speech or the free communication of ideas by members of the academic community.
B.
Policy Against Discriminatory Harassment
1. The University is committed to maintaining learning and working environments that are free from all forms of harassment and discrimination. Accordingly, harassment based on an individual’s gender, marital status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression1, veteran status, or other legally protected characteristic is prohibited. The University will not tolerate harassment, sexual harassment or retaliation in the workplace or educational environment whether committed by faculty, staff, or students, or by visitors to Hopkins while they are on campus. Each member of the community is responsible for fostering civility, for being familiar with this policy, and for refraining from conduct that violates this policy. 2.
For purposes of this policy, harassment is defined as:
A. any type of behavior which is based on gender, marital status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status, that B. is so severe or pervasive that it interferes with an individual’s work or academic performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working or academic environment. 3. Harassment when directed at an individual because of his/her gender, marital status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, personal appearance, veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristic may include, but is not limited to: unwanted physical contact; use of epithets, inappropriate jokes, comments or innuendos; obscene or harassing telephone calls, emails, letters, notes or other forms of communication; and, any conduct that may create a hostile working or academic environment. 4. Sexual harassment, whether between people of different sexes or the same sex, is defined to include, but is not limited to, unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other behavior of a sexual nature when: •submission to such conduct is made implicitly or explicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment or participation in an education program; •submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for personnel decisions or for academic evaluation or advancement; • or such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work or academic performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working or educational environment. Sexual harassment may include, but is not limited to: unwelcome sexual advances; demands/threats for sexual favors or actions; posting, distributing, or displaying sexual pictures or objects; suggestive gestures, sounds or stares; unwelcome physical contact; sending/forwarding inappropriate emails of a sexual or offensive nature; inappropriate jokes, comments or innuendos of a sexual nature; obscene or harassing telephone calls, emails, letters, notes or other forms of communication; and any conduct of a sexual nature that may create a hostile working or educational environment. 5. Retaliation against an individual who complains of discriminatory harassment under this policy, is strictly prohibited. Intentionally making a false accusation of harassment is also prohibited.
C.
Responsibilities Under this Policy
The University is committed to enforcement of this policy. Individuals who are found to have violated this policy will be subject to the full range of sanctions, up to and including termination of his/her University affiliation. 1.
All individuals are expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with this Policy.
2. Staff, faculty and/or students who believe that they have been subject to discriminatory harassment are encouraged to report, as soon as possible, their concerns to the Office of Institutional Equity, their supervisors, divisional human resources or the Office of the Dean of their School. 3. Individuals who witness what they believe may be discriminatory harassment of another are encouraged to report their concerns as soon as possible to the Office of Institutional Equity, their supervisors, divisional human resources or the Office of the Dean of their School. 4. Complainants are assured that reports of harassment will be treated in a confidential manner, within the bounds of the University’s legal obligation to respond appropriately to any and all allegations of harassment. 5. Managers, including faculty managers, who receive reports of harassment should contact human resources or the Office of Institutional Equity for assistance in investigating and resolving the issue. 6. Managers, including faculty managers, are required to implement corrective action where, after completing the investigation, it is determined corrective action is indicated. 7.
The University administration is responsible for ensuring the consistent application of this policy.
D.
Procedures for Discrimination Complaints Brought Within Hopkins

Boyle, Director Equity Compliance & Education, Garland Hall, 130, Homewood Campus, 410-516-8075, 410-516-6225 (TTY). 1 For the purposes of this policy, “gender identity or expression” refers to an individual’s having or being perceived as having a gender-related self-identity, self-image, appearance, expression, or behavior, whether or not those gender-related characteristics differ from those associated with the individual’s assigned sex at birth.

Significant changes in room selection processes, the meal plan program and installation of cable and ethernet access in all buildings are a few examples of how Housing and Dining are attempting to meet student needs. Any issue related to the operation of the buildings and condition of the rooms, room assignments, meal plans, contracts, billing – the basic and immediate needs of your environment – can be resolved in the Housing and Dining offices.
The Departments of Housing and Dining Services and Residential Life share the belief that through group living, students develop important personal, social and interpersonal skills. They learn to appreciate and respect individual differences and ethnic diversity, develop a greater understanding of their own identity and learn that they are responsible for their actions as they deal with moral and ethical dilemmas. Encouraging the integration and involvement of faculty and other student affairs staff further enhances the quality of the residential community.
If you participate in all that is available, you will find that University Housing is more than just a place to live, but an integral part of the college experience.
It is primarily the responsibility of the Residential Life department to take on the teaching/counseling/ programming role that will create an environment in the residence halls where this kind of learning can occur. As a member of this community, you will have many opportunities to foster friendships, develop life skills and become involved in a variety of leadership activities. The Director and Assistant Directors work with a group of Resident Advisors to help residents live together, have fun while succeeding academically and grow as individuals as well as members of the Hopkins community. The Housing and Dining Services Department creates the “stage” where this living and learning community can 9

RESIDENTIAL LIFE STAFF Assistant Directors
Getting Involved
The Assistant Directors are responsible for the overall management of the residence halls. They are full-time professional staff members of Residential Life and are trained higher education administrators who live on campus. They encourage residents to stop in their offices and visit with questions, ideas, or concerns.
Throughout your years at Hopkins, you will learn a tremendous amount from your academic work. However, there is a great deal more that you can gain if you become involved in some leadership opportunities. Students who are active outside the classroom develop invaluable skills that will give them an advantage once they enter the workforce.
Resident Advisors and Community Advisors
Open to student involvement, here are some groups that may have an impact on your University experience:
Resident Advisors (RA) are junior and senior student staff members living on a floor or wing, providing front-line support to students in the residence halls and apartments. They are carefully selected for their concern for fellow students and their leadership qualities. For any questions or concerns, you should contact your RA first. Providing informal counseling to residents, planning recreational and educational programming, responding to emergencies, enforcing University policies, and serving as a resource on campus are some of their job responsibilities.
Residents’ Advisory Board (RAB)
Comprised of residential students living in Wolman, McCoy, Charles Commons, Buildings A and B, AMRs, Rogers House, Homewood, and Bradford, RAB develops and implements social and educational activities in University housing. They also serve as the governing body for the residential student population, and provides feedback on the residential and dining experience. For more information, contact the Community Advisors at x6-3020 or x6-5644.
RAB Community Assistants (CAs) The CAs live in Building A and Wolman and serve as liaisons between students and the professional staff in communicating students’ needs. They assist in the programming which occurs in the residence halls as well as plan activities through the Residents’ Advisory Board (RAB).

It also provides you with tips on how to protect yourself and your valuables while living in University-owned housing and the neighborhoods surrounding the University.
call University Housing or Campus Security at 410-516-7777 to request it directly. Whenever possible, residents are encouraged to contact an RA/CA first so that proper coordination and follow-up can occur.
Emergency Assistance Residents in University housing can obtain emergency assistance through the Office of Residential Life at anytime. Residents should call or visit the office for help during regular office hours.
Safety Tips
Campus police can be contacted 24/7 by dialing 6-7777 for emergencies or 6-4600 for non-emergencies.
Most Importantly, Take Responsibility for Yourself: The University cannot guarantee your safety, but assuming personal responsibility for your own well-being by following the guidelines below will decrease your risk. Cooperation among all members of the residential community is an essential ingredient for a safe environment. The decisions you make will affect your neighbors’ safety, as well as your own.
When the offices are closed, residents who cannot locate their own resident advisors can call the RA/CA assigned to duty coverage for the night. Resident/Community Advisors take turns providing emergency coverage in each residential area at night. Residential Advisors operate the AMR II staff lounge Sunday through Wednesday nights from 8:00 pm to midnight, as well as Thursday through Saturdays from 8:00 pm to 1:00 am.
