Assistance and support services are available for both the accused/respondent and victim/complainant. All University resources share information (except communications within a privilege*) only with those who have a need to know in order to ensure that the complainant’s needs are met, the respondent is treated fairly, and campus safety needs are met. Such information could be the nature, date, time, and general location of an incident. You are free to discuss issues with faculty and staff members with whom you are comfortable, but recognize that their response (appropriately so) may be to discuss the matter with one of the resources above. The goal is to prevent problems, and if a problem arises, to address it and meet the needs of those affected.

YOUR RIGHTS SU Cares, Understands, and is a place of Connection: this is about our Syracuse University community and our culture here at the University. Syracuse University’s Core Principles: The University’s Code of Ethical conduct guides the activities of all faculty, staff, and students. It provides, in part: We respect the rights and dignity of all persons and recognize that discrimination or harassment in any form undermines the fundamental principles of the University. We support a respectful environment through our own actions, encourage respectful behavior in others, and speak out against hatred and bias. The University does not discriminate and prohibits harassment or discrimination related to any protected category including: creed ethnicity national origin sex, gender pregnancy disability marital status political or social affiliation age race color veteran status military status religion sexual orientation domestic violence status gender identity gender expression or perceived gender Each member of the campus community is responsible for preventing harassment and discrimination in work, academic, and residential environments, both on and off campus. Retaliation against any individual for reporting concerns is strictly prohibited. As a member of the Syracuse University community, you are entitled to work, study, and participate in the University’s programs without fear of harassment or discrimination. It is the responsibility of all to ensure such an environment is maintained. Speak Up if you witness harassment or discrimination, and report any such incidents that happen to you. SEXUAL HARASSMENT Sexual harassment is prohibited. It is a form of sexual discrimination. It is unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature that relates to the gender or sexual identity of an individual. Even without creating an intimidating or hostile environment for study, work, or social living, unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature is a violation of the University’s Code of Ethical Conduct. The definition of sexual harassment includes: sexual violence (physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person’s will or where a person is incapable of giving consent due to the victim’s use of drugs or alcohol), rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, sexual coercion, and non-contact sexual abuse such as voyeurism and sexual exploitation. This definition includes such conduct against a significant other. Gender- and sex-based harassment also is prohibited, such as acts of verbal, nonverbal, or physical aggression, intimidation, or hostility based on sex, gender (gender identity, gender expression, and perceived gender), sexuality (sexual orientation and sexual expression), or sex-stereotyping, including those not of a sexual nature (such as jokes mocking a transgender person’s gender identity or expression, or women’s “place” in society). …and Be Heard Your RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES AS A MEMBER OF THE SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY S peak U p!
