Harassment is any offensive or unwelcome conduct based on a person’s race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or other characteristics. Conduct becomes harassment when it creates an environment that is intimidating or hostile to a reasonable person. Harassment does not have to be sexual in nature. Harassing behavior can be physical, verbal, visual, or any other act that belittles or demeans an individual. A person need not be the target of harassment to be the victim of harassing behavior.
