Harassment includes physical abuse, verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, coercion, and/or other conduct that threatens or endangers the health and safety of any person. Speech protected by the First Amendment is not a violation of this provision. However, fighting words and statements that reasonably threaten or endanger the health and safety of any person are not protected speech and will result in college action. Each allegation of a violation under this provision shall be reviewed with these factors in mind. If a student believes she/he has been a victim of this type of abuse, they should report it to the Housing Manager immediately.
