Relevant Excerpt

Discriminatory Harassment is unwelcome conduct on the basis of actual or perceived protected characteristic(s), 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 person’s ability to participate in or benefit from the College’s education program or activity. 

...

Bystander Support when witnessing a Discriminatory or Harassing incident 

Harassment and discrimination should NOT be dismissed. 

Speak out when jokes or comments are made that are hateful or demean others because of perceived age, color, creed, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity/presentation, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, social class, veteran status, or any combination of these or related factors.

Ask yourself if you use derogatory, degrading, or offensive terms in describing others and if you avoid people who are different from you.

Educate yourself.
