Who is covered under College Policy on Prevention of Sexual Harassment?

The policy is gender neutral and covers with equal rigour both women and men, including same-sex harassment and it covers everyone on the campus, irrespective of gender and age. The objective is to facilitate a safe place for education and employment for everyone here, and transcending all sorts of hierarchy, the policy is applicable even to the third parties who are involved with the institution in any manner.
