This policy adopts the definition of sexual harassment as stated in the state’s Human Rights Act, being 775 ILCS 5/1-101 et seq., which currently defines SEXUAL HARASSMENT as any unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors or any conduct of a sexual nature when:
(A) Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment;
(B) Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual; or
(C) Such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.
