Conduct
Students are expected to conduct themselves responsibly, honestly, and with due consideration for others while on Harvard University property, as well as in all their interactions and communications with members of the Harvard community. The Administrative Board for University Extension reviews the actions of students charged with harassment; fraud; infringing on the rights of others; violating the rules and regulations of any University department; behaving inappropriately toward University faculty, staff, or fellow students; abusing University computer resources; destroying or defacing University property; misrepresenting themselves or their University affiliation; or disturbing orderly academic functions and processes.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is discriminatory and unlawful. Federal and state laws define sexual harassment as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work or school environment. Harvard Extension School does not tolerate any form of sexual harassment. Students, instructors, or staff who engage in sexual harassment face appropriate discipline.
Students with complaints of sexual harassment should call Christopher Queen, Dean of Students, (617) 495-3481, or Brenda Mahoney, Associate Registrar, (617) 495-0977. Complaints can be handled either formally or informally. It is unlawful and a violation of Extension School policy to retaliate against anyone for filing a complaint of harassment or for cooperating in the investigation of such a complaint. Copies of the Extension School's complete sexual harassment policy, which describes how student complaints can be filed and how cases are investigated, are available at 51 Brattle Street.
