• Quid pro quo harassment involves abuse of one's power, authority, or position such that, submission to or tolerance of such conduct is made either an explicit or implicit term or condition of an individual's employment or education; or
  • Submission to or tolerance or rejection of such conduct is used as a basis for employment or academic, decisions affecting an individual's welfare;
  • The conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's work or academic performance; or
  • The conduct creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work or educational environment.
