Retaliation

Retaliation by individual students, groups of students, or student groups is prohibited. Retaliation is an adverse action or threat of adverse action taken against an individual for reporting behavior that may be prohibited by law or policy or participating in an investigation or resolution process related to an allegation of misconduct.

Retaliation must be sufficiently severe or pervasive to create an environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive, adversely affecting the targeted individual’s/ student group’s educational, work, or living environment.
