Sexual Misconduct, Gender Based Violence, and Freedom from Harassment

Student employees must remember that they are employees whose actions are governed by college, state, and federal employment laws.

• Bowdoin College's Employee Handbook provides clear guidance on our employee Freedom from Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, and Gender Based Violence Policy.
• The Dean of Student Affairs Student Sexual Misconduct and Gender Based Violence Policy provides clear guidance as well.
• Bowdoin's Title IX website offers resources regarding sexual misconduct and gender based violence as well. Instructions on reporting incidents may be found here.

"Bowdoin College prohibits any member of the faculty, staff, administration, student body, or visitors, whether visiting campus, patrons, independent contractors, or vendors from harassing or discriminating against any other member of the Bowdoin College community because of a person’s race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, age, marital status, place of birth, veteran status or against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in any phase of its employment process, in any phase of its admission or financial aid programs, or other aspects of its educational programs or activities."

Any member of the College community has the right to report any instance of sexual misconduct, gender based violence, or harassment without fear of reprisal and is encouraged to report such instances for the good of the community. Take active steps to promote a civil, harassment-free work environment.
