IAHPERD will not tolerate intimidating conduct or bullying whether verbal, physical, electronic, or visual, that affects tangible benefits of participation in IAHPERD activities, or that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment.

  Harassment Defined: Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices.

  Examples of prohibited conduct include name-calling, using derogatory slurs, causing psychological harm, threatening or causing physical harm, or wearing or possessing items depicting or implying hatred or prejudice of one of the characteristics stated above.

  Examples of harassment include behavior directed at another person with the intent of intimidating, humiliating, or embarrassing the other person, subjecting the person to public discrimination, or creating a hostile/offensive/uncomfortable environment.

  Persistent unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment. Examples of harassment include unwanted touching, crude jokes or pictures, discussions of sexual experiences, teasing related to sexual characteristics, and spreading rumors related to a person's alleged sexual activities.

  Harassment occurs when:

  Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term, condition or circumstance of employment, or participation in any IAHPERD activity.

  Submission to, or rejection of, such conduct by an individual is used as a basis for evaluation in making personnel or IAHPERD decisions affecting an individual; or
