| Sexual Harassment |

The State of Vermont prohibits the harassment of anyone on the
basis of gender. Sexual harassment violates an individual’s
basic civil rights, undermines the integrity of the work place, and adversely affects workers and clients alike. All employees, including
but not limited to staff, supervisors, managers, and appointing authorities, are expected to comply with this policy and take appropriate measures to ensure that sexual harassment does not occur. In addition, every manager and supervisor within the State of Vermont is responsible for providing a work place free from sexual harassment.
