Relevant Excerpt

Harassment (Hostile Environment, Sex-Based Harassment):  Unwelcome conduct under a University Education Program or Activity that is based on the Complainant’s actual or perceived status(es) as defined by the Policy, including specifically sex-based harassment and other forms of harassment on the basis of sex (including sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and marital or parental status).

Conduct is considered “unwelcome” if the person did not request or invite it and perceives the conduct to be undesirable or offensive. Unwelcome conduct may include verbal, non-verbal, physical, or non-physical conduct.

...

General Sexual Harassment:  Unwelcome sex-based conduct that, based on the totality of the circumstances, is subjectively and objectively offensive and is so severe or pervasive that it limits or denies a complainant’s ability to participate in or benefit from a University Education Program or Activity.
