    SEXUAL HARASSMENT ADVISORS (SHA)

    All SHA's are volunteers. The Sexual Harassment Officers shall arrange for a course for training of advisors. People who have successfully completed the course may serve as SHA's. Advisers will be available to serve as sources of initial information to any individual who has a complaint or who needs information about sexual harassment.

    The names of the advisors shall be published at the beginning of each semester and are available in the following offices: Dean of Students, Director of Affirmative Action, and the Office of Graduate Division. Advisors will have information about applicable laws, university policies and procedures, and options available for resolution of complaints. The Advisors shall:

    1. Serve as resource persons to individuals with complaints or inquiries which may involve sexual harassment;
    2. Advise the complainant regarding applicable university policies and procedures and outline various informal and formal options.
    3. Inform the appropriate sexual harassment officer if a complaint is received which is deemed sufficiently serious to warrant further action.

    Discussion between complainants and Sexual Harassment Advisors can occur without a written complaint and without identification of the person bringing the complaint and shall not imply guilt or innocence. No written record of specific complaints or actions taken to this point in the procedures shall be kept.

    However, a simple tally of the number and type of complaints shall be kept and reported to the appropriate Sexual Harassment Officer at the end of each semester.

    If further action is requested by the complainant, the SHA shall refer the complainant to a Sexual Harassment Officer (SHO) and explain the responsibilities and duties of those officers. In addition, SHA's have an obligation to notify SHO's when it appears the university should act, even if the complainant has not requested further action. The SHA is not authorized to notify either the accused or any supervisor of the accused.
