Sexual Harassment Policy

Bishop Stuart University strives to be a “University for recreating a Society with Academic Excellence, Human Values and Entrepreneurship.” Therefore, it seeks to provide an environment that is free from sexual harassment and sexual assault. Such conduct seriously undermines the atmosphere of trust and respect that is essential to a healthy
work and academic environment. Bishop Stuart University, being a Christian university, strongly advocates for the rights of individuals, including the right not to be sexually harassed.

Sexual Harassment will therefore not be tolerated at Bishop Stuart University as it causes discomfort and interferes with work and with academic performance. This applies to all members of the community. In a University setting like ours, most of the sexual harassment cases relate to male lecturers demanding sex from female students as
well as female staff being asked for sexual favours in order for them to be promoted. Students also harass each other sexually.
