The Program adheres to the Wayne State University Sexual Harassment Statute. The complete document
may be downloaded at: https://bog.wayne.edu/code/2-28-06.
It is the policy of Wayne State University that no member of the University community may sexually harass
another. Any employee or student will be subject to disciplinary action for violation of this policy.
The law of the State of Michigan prohibits discrimination in employment and in education and provides that:
Discrimination because of sex includes sexual harassment which means unwelcome sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature when:
In the area of speech, what the law and this policy prohibit is speech as action; that is, sexual communication,
which is either directly coercive as demanding favors, or indirectly coercive, as rising to the level of
offensiveness which interferes substantially with the victim's education or employment. The determination of
what level of offensiveness is coercive, and therefore unlawful and prohibited by this policy, will in some
cases be difficult.
