Engaging in Retaliation Defined

  • SVSH Policy Definition
  • The University prohibits Retaliation against someone for reporting possible Prohibited Conduct or participating or not participating in a process under this Policy.

    Retaliation is defined as an adverse action against a person based on their report or other disclosure of alleged Prohibited Conduct to a University employee, or their participation in, refusal to participate in, or assistance with the investigation, reporting, remedial, or disciplinary processes provided for in this Policy.

    An adverse action is conduct that would discourage a reasonable person from reporting Prohibited Conduct or participating in a process provided for in this Policy, such as threats, intimidation, harassment, discrimination and coercion. Good faith actions lawfully pursued in response to a report of Prohibited Conduct (such as gathering evidence) are not, without more, retaliation.
  • Discrimination and Harassment Policy Definition 
  • Retaliation is defined as an adverse action against an individual based on:  
    a. their report or other disclosure of alleged Discrimination and/or Harassment to a University employee or
    b. their participation in, or assistance with, the investigative process, reporting, remedial, or corrective action/disciplinary processes provided for in this Policy.  

    An adverse action is defined as conduct that would discourage a reasonable person from reporting Discrimination and/or Harassment or participating in a process provided for in this Policy, such as threats, intimidation, coercion, reprisals and adverse employment or educational actions. Good faith actions lawfully pursued in response to a report of Discrimination and/or Harassment (such as gathering evidence) are not, without more, Retaliation.
