201(1) Abusive Conduct (B or C)
Abusive conduct is strictly prohibited. Abusive conduct includes any intentional conduct that inflicts or attempts to inflict bodily harm or severe emotional harm upon any person, any reckless action that could result in bodily harm, and any action that would reasonably cause another to be fearful that their health or safety is in immediate danger. Using or attempting to use alcohol or other drugs intentionally to incapacitate another individual is also considered abusive conduct. 

When a student harms or attempts to harm oneself, the student may be required to meet with a representative of the Office of the Dean of Students and/or Behavioral Concerns Team to determine the most appropriate course of action.

201(12) Harassment and Bullying (B or C)
Ours is a community of care, where all people are to be treated with dignity and respect. Members of our University community are expected to demonstrate concern for the welfare of others, to consider the impact (whether direct or indirect) of their behavior on others, and to act in a manner that minimizes harm.

Accordingly, harassment and bullying (as defined in 搂101(18) and 搂101(6), respectively) are strictly prohibited at 草莓社区. Both harassment and bullying may be verbal, physical, or psychological and may occur through electronic means (i.e. cyber bullying). 

Harassment and bullying can occur through one severe, isolated incident or through a pattern of repeated incidents. Such actions are unwelcome and pose a risk to the health and safety of the University community. Petty slights, annoyances, and isolated incidents (unless serious and pervasive) will not rise to the level of a policy violation.

201(13) Hazing (C)
Hazing is a broad term encompassing actions or activities often associated with initiation or group associations which inflict or attempt to cause mental or physical harm or anxiety, or which demean, degrade, or disgrace any person, regardless of location, intent or consent of participants. Hazing can also be defined as any behavior that intentionally or unintentionally endangers the physical or mental health of a student for the purpose of initiation, full admission, or affiliation with any organization or group. Any activity that promotes a class system or subjects a certain sub-group to subservience in any form may also be considered hazing. 

Hazing is expressly prohibited by the University and by Illinois law (720 ILCS 120). See also §605 or visit the Hazing 草莓社区 section of the website for more details, including but not limited to, examples of acts of hazing, responsibility of organization officers, organizations, and members, and guidance on complaints and investigations.

201(18) Retaliation (B)
All members of the University community have a right to bring forth information that helps support an environment of safety and support. Accordingly, any act of retaliation taken against another is a serious violation of University policy.

Retaliation is defined as any adverse action (including but not limited to retaliatory harassment, threats, vandalism, or other harmful behavior) taken against a person participating in a protected activity because of their participation in the protected activity. Retaliation against an individual for reporting an incident, supporting an affected party, or otherwise participating in the student conduct process is a serious violation.

Alleged retaliation should be reported immediately to Campus Safety, the SRCR Team, the Office for Equity & Compliance, or another University resource and will be promptly addressed.
