Sexual Harassment will not be tolerated at Villanova University and any staff, faculty or student who feels harassed is encouraged to contact the University’s Complaint Officer, or other trusted administrator, to address the concern. The University encourages its members to attempt informal resolution of complaints of sexual harassment. The University has many offices and individuals who may be able to provide counseling on a confidential basis for a person who believes that he or she is the victim of sexual harassment. The departments of Multicultural Affairs, Counseling Center, Campus Ministry, Human Resources, Student Life, and the like are staffed with caring and experienced specialists who may be able to help resolve concerns on an ad hoc and confidential basis. The Complaint Officer is also a resource person who may assist in informal resolution of a complaint, including through facilitated communication between the complainant and respondent. In cases where a person is unable to resolve a problem of sexual harassment informally, or wishes to make a formal complaint, she or he should submit a formal, written complaint, utilizing the University's standard form, to the University Complaint Officer. The University’s policy and procedure are explained in detail at http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/hr/policies/employmentpractices/sexualharassment.html
