This Policy addresses sex discrimination other than sexual
harassment, gender-based harassment or sexual violence,
which are covered by the CUNY Policy on Sexual Misconduct.
Workplace
Violence
Prevention
Policy

This policy defines violence as any physical assault or act of
aggressive behavior occurring where an employee works or
is doing work-related tasks.

Domestic
Violence in the
Workplace

This policy addresses domestic violence in or affecting
employees in the workplace.

The University is committed to the prevention of workplace
violence and will respond quickly to any threats or actions of
violence.

There are a range of services available to employees who are
victims of dating, domestic and intimate partner violence
that affects their employment.
Lehman’s Office of Human Resources will help the employee
to determine the best use of his/her leave benefits (if
needed) and allow the employee to make reasonable
changes to his/her benefits wherever available and
permissible. The staff will also help employees to identify the
documentation needed to support absences from work and
assist with safety-related needs at the workplace.

Policy on
Sexual
Misconduct

This is the sole policy at CUNY addressing sexual
harassment, gender-based harassment and sexual violence.
All colleges and units of the University are governed by this
Policy.
The Policy prohibits sexual and gender-based harassment
and sexual violence against any CUNY student, employee
and visitor. It also prohibits retaliation against a student,
employee or visitor because the individual complained
about one or more of these issues or because they assisted
someone to file a sexual harassment, gender-based
harassment, or sexual violence complaint. Retaliation
against someone who participates in the investigation
or resolution of a sexual harassment, gender-based
harassment, or sexual violence complaint is also prohibited.
