- Gender-based harassment means acts of aggression, intimidation, stalking, or hostility based on gender or gender-stereotyping.

- To constitute harassment, the conduct must be unwelcomed and unreasonably interfere with an individual’s education or educational activities or create an objectively intimidating, hostile, demeaning, or offensive academic or living environment.
- Any violations of this policy for students should be reported to the university’s Title IX Coordinator, Irene Kniss, at 540-432-4302 or titleixcoordinator@emu.edu , or on the incident report form, found at https://emu.edu/safecampus/ For more information, please see the Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct policy and other information at https://emu.edu/titleix.
