Procedures and Academic Policies
Section 1 • 75
Harassment Sanctions Sanctions may include but are not limited to written warnings, required counseling, probation, suspension, expulsion, withholding diploma or participation in commencement activities and/or thesis review events, revocation of degree, organizational sanction, or other sanctions as deemed appropriate. Retaliation Retaliation is defined as taking a material adverse action against a person participating in a protected activity because of the person’s participation in that protected activity. Retaliation against an individual for alleging harassment, supporting a reporting party, or for assisting in providing information relevant to a claim of harassment is a violation of SCI-Arc policy and will be treated as such. Acts of alleged retaliation should be reported immediately to the Title IX Coordinator or to the Deputy Title IX Coordinator and will be promptly investigated. SCI-Arc will take appropriate steps to protect individuals who fear that they may be subjected to retaliation. For a complete description of the process, rights, and remedies when reporting harassment at SCI-Arc—see full policy located at sciarc.edu and at my.sciarc.edu.
