Welcome Back
Welcome back for the 2000–2001 academic year. While many have been with us all summer long, others are returning from summer activities that I hope have energized them for the challenges of the new semester. Indeed, I hope we all feel a sense of renewal and purpose as we embark on the fall semester.
This year, we will continue to cultivate a strong sense of community, remembering that a college must be a purposeful community, where students, faculty, and staff share academic goals and work together to strengthen teaching and learning. Our provost, Gary Marotta, will provide and encourage leadership as we strive toward this goal. Because our common academic quest is central to all other aspects of building our community, the provost is working on a Buffalo State College Oath of Matriculation. He also will revisit our general education curriculum and will work with faculty to bring greater value and coherence to this vital core of learning. In an effort to give greater focus and purpose to their studies, and to reduce high rates of attrition, probation, and dismissal among those who have not declared majors, we will encourage students to declare academic majors earlier.
We also will work to maintain a community that is both safe and open. We value Buffalo State as a place where debate is encouraged, civility is valued, and the well-being of each member is protected and supported. This year we rededicate ourselves to this vision.
I extend a special welcome to those who are new to our academic community, and wish everyone a productive and rewarding academic year. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our Academic Convocation on September 21.

College Policy on Religious Observances
The Buffalo State College policy on religious observances prohibits administering evaluative examinations on Rosh Hashanah (Saturday, September 30, 2000) and Yom Kippur (Monday, October 9, 2000). Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the 10-day observance of penitence, which concludes on Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, is the most solemn Jewish holy day, devoted to prayer, fasting and repentance. Both holy days begin at sunset the previous day.
College Policy on Sexual Harassment
I. Rationale
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has issued guidelines interpreting Section 703 of Title VII as prohibiting sexual harassment (29 CFR 1604.11). Sexual harassment is defined in these guidelines as "unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature...when (1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment, (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual, or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment."
Sexual harassment is an affront to human dignity and will not be tolerated at Buffalo State College. As an educational institution, it will not condone nor tolerate any verbal or physical conduct that would constitute sexual harassment of any member of the college or campus community. Buffalo State is committed to the intellectual, personal, and professional growth of its students, faculty, and staff. The goal of the college is to inspire a lifelong passion for learning and to empower a diverse population of students to succeed as citizens within a challenging world. The college is dedicated to excellence in teaching and scholarship, cultural enrichment, and service in order to enhance the quality of life in Buffalo and the larger community. Actions by members of the college community that harm this atmosphere undermine and hinder the educational mission.
Sexual harassment is particularly serious when it threatens the relationship between faculty and students or supervisors and subordinates. In such situations, sexual harassment unfairly exploits the power inherent in the faculty member or supervisor's position. The college will not tolerate behavior that creates an unacceptable working or educational environment between or among members of the college community.
II. Policy
It is the policy of Buffalo State to provide an employment and educational environment free of unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or communication, constituting sexual harassment as defined and otherwise prohibited by state and federal statutes.
back to
top
III. Implementation
It shall be a violation of college policy for anyone in a position of authority to recommend or take personnel actions affecting an employee, or who is otherwise authorized to transact business or perform acts or services on behalf of the college, to:
- Make sexual advances or request sexual favors when submission to or rejection of such conduct is the basis for either implicitly or explicitly recommending, imposing, granting, withholding, or refusing terms and conditions that either favor or adversely affect the employment or education of any member of the college community;
- Recommend, impose, grant, withhold, or refuse to take any personnel or other action consistent with his or her duties and responsibilities because of sexual favors or as a reprisal against an employee or other member of the college community who has rejected or reported sexual advances;
- Disregard or fail to investigate allegations of sexual harassment, whether reported by the employee or a member of the college community who is the subject of, or witness to, the alleged harassment, and to fail to take immediate corrective action in the event misconduct has occurred.
It also shall be a violation of this policy for any member of the college community to abuse another through conduct or communication of a sexual nature and constituting sexual harassment as defined in Section II above. Whenever such misconduct exists, prompt and corrective action consistent with the discipline provisions of the college policy is required.
Whenever there is an abuse of authority or neglect of responsibility, the supervisor or other responsible individual is required to take prompt and corrective action consistent with the discipline provisions of the college policy.
The violation of this policy can result in discipline and discharge for employees, and such penalties, sanctions, and impositions against other individuals or parties as may be available to the college, given the nature of the contractual or business relationship that may be established with such parties or individuals.
A. Grievance Procedures
Employees or other individuals who feel aggrieved because of sexual harassment have several ways to make their concerns known:
- Aggrieved persons who feel comfortable doing so should directly inform the person engaging in discrimination, conduct, or communication that such conduct or communication is offensive and must stop.
- Aggrieved individuals who do not wish to communicate directly with the offending party, or if direct communication with the offending party has been unveiling, shall contact the offending party's immediate supervisor and/or the officer responsible for affirmative action for counseling and assistance.
- Aggrieved persons alleging either sexual harassment by someone with supervisory authority or failure by a supervisor to take immediate action on the complaint may file a formal grievance in accordance with the provisions of the appropriate grievance procedure.
All formal complaints of sexual harassment will be handled by the Buffalo State College Grievance Procedure for the Review of Allegations of Unlawful Discrimination. The procedure has specific timetables and processes for filing and adjudicating complaints. A copy of the procedure is available through the vice presidents, the deans, and the Equity and Campus Diversity Office.
Regardless of the means selected for resolving the problem, the initiation of a complaint of sexual harassment will not cause any reflection on the complainant, nor will it affect such person's future employment, education, compensation, or work assignments.
back to
top
B. Responsibility of Management
All levels of management have a special responsibility for implementation of this policy. If behavior is observed that violates this policy, the person observing such behavior shall bring the matter to the attention of the supervisor responsible for that area and the officer responsible for affirmative action. If an employee or other individual files a complaint, the management representative with whom the complaint is filed shall inform the complainant of his or her right under this policy and attempt corrective action. When a problem is beyond the capability of such representative to effectively correct the action, the matter shall be referred to the officer responsible for affirmative action.
In all cases, and regardless of the individual's remedial measures, the management representative to whom the written complaint has been referred shall provide the officer responsible for affirmative action with a complete written report of each complaint.
Written Report
This report must be submitted within 10 days of the date the complaint was first filed with the management representative. Such report shall minimally include:
- Date of receipt of written complaint;
- Identification of complainant;
- Identification of the party or parties and the actions complained of, including all relevant background facts and circumstances;
- A statement detailing the scope of the investigation that had been undertaken and the results thereof;
- A statement of corrective measures pursued, the date such measures were undertaken, and the results achieved.

Education and Training
Sexual harassment may range from sexual innuendoes made at inappropriate times, perhaps in the guise of humor, to coercion of sexual relations. Harassment at its extreme occurs when a person in control, influence, or position to affect another person's job or career uses his or her authority and power to coerce the other person into sexual relations or to punish such person's refusal. It may include:
- Verbal harassment or abuse;
- Subtle pressure for sexual activity;
- Persistent remarks about another person's clothing, body, or sexual activities;
- Unnecessary touching, patting, or pinching;
- Constant brushing against another person's body;
- Demanding sexual favors accompanied by implied or overt threats concerning one's job, letters of recommendation, etc.;
- Physical assault.
Because sexual harassment is tied so closely to learned role models, it is necessary for men and women to learn more about this issue and the means for addressing problems as they arise. The college sponsors educational workshops on the subject of sexual harassment. Attendance at one of these programs or an approved substitution is mandatory for all persons in supervisory or executive capacities. Each is also encouraged to hold educational workshops and otherwise seek to sensitize persons within their areas of responsibility about the importance of providing an employment and business environment free of sexual harassment. Although there are various approaches one may take to offset potential problems, several measures are recommended:
- Encourage internal complaints. Express disapproval of harassment and inform employees of their right to file complaints under college policy;
- Assure that all supervisors are aware of their responsibilities, college policy, the law, and potential liabilities when violations occur;
- Regard each claim of sexual harassment as being serious and investigate immediately;
- Sensitize all employees to the issue and the ramifications of sexual harassment.
C. Special Assistance
It is expected that questions may arise concerning the interpretation of prohibitions against sexual harassment, grievance procedures, methods and procedures to be followed in the investigation of complaints, and appropriateness of specific solutions in disposition of complaints. For assistance in these matters, contact Dolores E. Battle, Equity and Campus Diversity Office, Cleveland Hall 415, ext. 6210.
